Know before you buy
No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the CROMOVA 18 stainless steel and the sharpness of the serrated edge, we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use.
The signature dimple pattern is designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are wet. It also helps balance the knife perfectly, reducing hand fatigue during extended use.
CROMOVA 18 is a high-carbon stainless steel exclusive to Global. It is specifically engineered to hold a razor-sharp edge longer than standard steel while remaining highly resistant to rust and corrosion.
Serrated edges are notoriously tricky to sharpen with standard whetstones. Because this knife holds its edge exceptionally well, you will rarely need to sharpen it, but we recommend using a specialized serrated sharpener or professional service when the time comes.
The 9-inch blade is generally more maneuverable and better suited for smaller loaves or tighter kitchen spaces. The 10-inch version offers a longer reach, making it ideal for slicing through large, artisan sourdough boules or crusty baguettes in a single motion.
Yes. Because the handle and blade are integrated into a single piece of steel, there are no rivets, gaps, or crevices where food particles or bacteria can accumulate. This makes the knife much easier to sanitize thoroughly.
