Know before you buy
While the slots are designed to fit the specific dimensions of the included Global knives, the open-frame acrylic design offers some flexibility. However, for the best fit and aesthetic, it is optimized for Global's signature dimpled-handle knives.
The open-frame design allows you to easily wipe down the acrylic panels with a soft, damp cloth. The maple wood base should be kept dry and can be maintained with a food-safe wood oil as needed to preserve its finish.
Global knives feature hollow handles filled with sand, which provides a unique, lightweight balance that reduces fatigue during repetitive tasks. The signature dimpled pattern is engineered to provide a secure, slip-resistant grip even when your hands are wet.
Yes, the transparent, open-frame construction promotes constant airflow around the blades. This prevents moisture buildup, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of the high-carbon CROMOVA-18 steel edges.
CROMOVA-18 is a proprietary stainless steel blend that is exceptionally hard and resistant to rust and corrosion. It allows the blades to be ground to a thinner, sharper edge that retains its performance significantly longer than standard kitchen knives.
