Know before you buy
CROMOVA is a proprietary blend developed by Global that is specifically designed to be resistant to rust and corrosion while allowing for a very thin, razor-sharp edge. It is hardened to a Rockwell rating of 56-58, which provides an ideal balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening.
While the stainless steel construction is durable, we strongly recommend hand washing these knives with mild detergent. Dishwashers can dull the fine edges and the harsh detergents may cause surface spotting over time.
The handles are ergonomically designed with a dimpled texture to ensure a secure, non-slip grip even when wet. Because the entire knife is lightweight, they are generally much less fatiguing to use for long prep sessions than heavier, wood-handled alternatives.
Because Global knives feature a unique, acute edge angle, it is best to use a whetstone or a ceramic water sharpener designed for Japanese-style blades. Avoid using coarse pull-through sharpeners, as they can damage the thin, precision-ground edge.
The included storage block is designed to be space-efficient, measuring 14 by 2 by 1 inches. Its slim profile makes it an excellent choice for kitchens with limited counter space.
