Razor Sharp Edge

The most important feature of any knife is its edge, and the GLOBAL edge is truly its signature. The majority of the GLOBAL knives are sharpened or ground on both sides of the blade, just like Western style knives. However, their edges are ground steeply to a point as illustrated in Fig. 1, and to an acute angle. This is in contrast to Western or European knives that use a beveled edge, Fig. 2. The straight edge results in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer. The edge on a GLOBAL knife is so large and prominent that it is easily seen with the naked eye and extends a quarter of an inch or more up from the tip of the knife.

Cromova 18 Stainless Steel

CROMOVA 18 is a steel, with a special mixture of molybdenum, vanadium and chromium. The exact combination is our trade secret, but the steel is made to be hard enough so that the knives retain their sharpness, yet soft enough to sharpen with a whetstone. The high chromium content gives the knives excellent resistance to rust and staining.

Functional Design Steeped In Tradition

From its modest inception, GLOBAL has developed into one of the most successful brands of professional kitchen knives in the world. Still crafted by hand in Yoshikin’s factory in Niigata, Japan, GLOBAL knives are manufactured to extremely high and exacting standards. GLOBAL has attracted much acclaim over the years and received numerous awards.

Product description

Easily slice through vegetables with the seven inch vegetable knife from Global. This knife is made from a single piece of high quality CROMOVA 18 stainless steel. Grooves help prevent food from sticking to the blade and it has an ice hardened, convex edge so it holds a sharp edge for a long time, allowing you can make a batch of delicious sweet potato fries. It has an ergonomic handle with a dimple pattern making it comfortable and slip resistant, useful for repetitive slicing. The knife's perfect weight is achieved through the hollow handle that is filled with sand for ideal balance. While this knife is great for vegetables it is also useful for cutting meats, fish, and even fruits.

7" L

Meticulously crafted for superior all-around performance, Global's kitchen knives leave no detail unattended. This versatile 7-inch vegetable knife from the Hollow Ground line is a case in point. The blade is molded from the finest molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, giving it extraordinary strength as well as rust- and corrosion-free durability. Ground straight to a point and ice-tempered, the cutting edge is extremely precise and maintains its sharpness longer than any beveled blade. Oval notches along the blade reduce friction and keep food from clinging as the knife cuts.

Equally as important as the blade, Global's signature handle design offers impeccable quality and balance. Its steel surface is molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. It also tapers as it reaches the end, reducing its weight for easier dicing and chopping. Sleeker than many European-style handles, this tool is comfortable for small-handed cooks to grasp. The knife also keeps a trim and light profile by eliminating the bolster and instead balancing the tool with sand injected into the handle that flows as the knife is maneuvered. For optimum sanitation, the tool is constructed completely without seams. This knife is best washed by hand and sharpened with a ceramic sharpener or diamond steel. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. --Kara Karll

Product description

Global Knives have two most innovative features: the edge and the way they are balanced.



The most important feature of any knife is its edge. The blade is made from one of the finest steels, Cromova 18 stainless steel. This special steel is ice-tempered and hardened to a Rockwell Hardness of 56-58 degrees, which remains razor-sharp longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion. The blade edge is ground on both sides of the blade like western style blades; however the edge is ground to a straight point rather than a beveled edge which results in a razor-sharp edge that will stay sharp longer.



To balance the blade, all Global knives have a unique hollow handle filled with the right amount of sand to create the perfect balance.



Global knives are truly unique.

• Blade construction: CROMOVA 18 high carbon stainless steel
• Balanced stainless steel molded dimpled handle provides safe grip
• Blade edge is ground on each side, creating a straight sharp edge
• Ideal for chopping, slicing and dicing vegetables, meats and fruits

Be prepared for most any prep task in the kitchen with a uniquely designed 3-piece knife set that includes a 7-inch hollow ground santoku, a 5-1/4-inch utility knife, and a 3-1/2-inch paring knife. Global knives are distinct in design and therefore function. Forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, Global knives have a smooth contour and seamless construction.

Blended from 18 percent chromium for good stain resistance, plus molybdenum and vanadium for excellent edge retention, Global knives are designed for long-term use.
