GLOBAL Cooks Knife 13cm / 5.25" GS89

The weight and balance of the Global cooks knife allows it to be used for both heavy-duty work with thicker cuts of vegetables, fruits and meats or mincing and chopping herbs. The curved blade enables a rocking cut and wide surface enables knuckle clearance and gathering of cut food.

The blade is constructed of a single piece of steel, with a unique convex edge for unsurpassed performance. The blade is made of the finest stainless steel called CROMOVA 18 (Chromium, Molybdenum and Vanadium), designed exclusively for GLOBAL that is ice tempered and hardened to hold the razor-sharp edge of the blade longer than any other steel.

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 using the best raw materials available.

Like the Samurai swords, each knife is carefully weighed to ensure the perfect balance. GLOBAL has attracted much over the years and received numerous awards. GLOBAL knives are made from the finest stainless-steel material. The blades utilise CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel, which has been designed exclusively for Global knives, ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56- 58 which holds a razor-sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion. This steel is hard enough for Global knives to hold that steep acute cutting edge for a long time, yet soft enough so that it is not too difficult to sharpen. Care should be taken to keep your Global knives stain and rust free.
