Know before you buy
The set includes four essential Global knives: an 8-inch G-2 Chef's Knife, an 8.5-inch G-9 Bread Knife, a 5.5-inch GS-5 Vegetable Knife, and a 4-inch GS-96 Paring Knife, housed in the Hashira storage block.
The block features an open-frame design with transparent acrylic sides, making it easy to wipe down. We recommend hand-washing the block with a damp cloth and mild soap, ensuring it is completely dry before re-inserting your knives.
No, these knives should be hand-washed only. Using a dishwasher can damage the precision edge of the CROMOVA 18 stainless steel and may affect the handle integrity over time.
The clear acrylic allows for quick identification of each knife while promoting better airflow around the blades. This design choice helps keep your kitchen organized while preventing moisture buildup inside the slots.
With a hardness rating of C56-58, these knives strike an ideal balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening. This makes them durable enough for professional daily use while remaining resilient against chipping.
The Hashira block is specifically engineered with four slots tailored to the included set. It is not designed to accommodate extra knives beyond the four provided.
