Know before you buy
This set includes a 7-inch Oriental Cook's knife for general chopping, a 5-inch fluted Santoku knife for precision slicing, and a 3.5-inch paring knife for detailed tasks like peeling or trimming.
CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary stainless steel blend exclusive to Global. It is ice-tempered and hardened to a Rockwell scale of 56-58, allowing the blades to hold a sharper edge for longer while remaining resistant to rust and corrosion.
No, the handles are designed with Global's signature dimple pattern, which provides a secure, slip-resistant grip even when your hands are wet. The handles are also hollow and weighted with silica to ensure the knife feels balanced and stable in your hand.
The convex edge is designed to glide through food with less resistance than a standard V-shaped edge. This geometry helps the blade move smoothly through ingredients, resulting in cleaner cuts and less food sticking to the side of the knife.
Because these knives are made of high-quality Japanese steel, they should be hand-washed and dried immediately to maintain their finish. For sharpening, it is best to use a whetstone or a sharpener specifically designed for Global's unique edge geometry.
