Know before you buy
No, these knives should be hand-washed only. The harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher can dull the blades and potentially damage the stainless steel finish.
Cromova18 is a proprietary molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel blend that allows the blades to be sharpened to a very acute angle while maintaining excellent edge retention and rust resistance.
Because these knives have a specific edge geometry, it is best to use a ceramic water stone or a Global-specific sharpener. Avoid using pull-through sharpeners, as they can be too aggressive and damage the thin, precise edge.
The handles feature a signature dimpled pattern designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip. While they feel different than wood or plastic handles, the ergonomic design ensures they remain stable in your hand during use.
The included knife block is the ideal storage solution, as it keeps the blades separated and protected from contact with other metal utensils. Avoid storing them loose in a drawer, which can cause the edges to chip or dull.
