Know before you buy
CROMOVA-18 is a proprietary stainless steel blend exclusive to Global. It is specifically formulated to be hard enough to hold a razor-sharp edge for a long time, while remaining resistant to rust, stains, and corrosion.
The sand-filled, hollow handle design is engineered to provide a precise, lightweight balance. This allows the knife to feel like an extension of your hand, reducing wrist fatigue during repetitive chopping or slicing tasks.
Yes, the easel is crafted from sturdy black rubberwood and features a stable base. It is designed to hold the knives securely in place, keeping your blades protected while saving valuable counter space.
No, these knives should be hand-washed with mild detergent and dried immediately. Dishwashers can dull the blades and potentially damage the handle finish over time.
Yes, the signature dimple pattern is functional rather than decorative. It creates a textured surface that prevents the handle from slipping, even if your hands are wet or oily while cooking.
