Know before you buy
The set includes an 8-inch Chef's Knife (G-2), an 8.5-inch Bread Knife (G-9), a 5.5-inch Vegetable Knife (GS-5), a 4.25-inch Utility Knife (GSF-22), and a dedicated storage block.
No, Global recommends hand-washing these knives with mild detergent and drying them immediately. Dishwashers can dull the blades and potentially damage the stainless steel finish.
The signature dimple pattern is designed to provide a slip-resistant, ergonomic grip. This texture ensures the handle remains secure in your hand even when wet, offering better control during precise cutting tasks.
Because Global knives are made from high-quality stainless steel with a unique edge, it is best to use a whetstone or a ceramic water sharpener designed for Japanese-style blades. Avoid using pull-through sharpeners, as they can be too aggressive and damage the blade's geometry.
Yes, Global knives are known for being lightweight and well-balanced. The slim, ergonomic handle design is generally comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes, providing excellent maneuverability without feeling heavy or cumbersome.
