Know before you buy
The square tip is designed for efficient chopping and dicing of vegetables. Unlike a pointed chef's knife, the flat edge allows you to make clean, full-contact cuts against your cutting board without needing a rocking motion.
Yes, the Granton edge creates small air pockets between the blade and the food. This significantly reduces friction and prevents starchy vegetables like potatoes or cucumbers from clinging to the side of the knife while you work.
CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary blend of molybdenum, vanadium, and chromium that allows the blade to be sharpened to a steeper, more acute angle. It is ice-tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 56-58, which balances the ability to hold a razor-sharp edge with enough flexibility to prevent chipping.
The handle features a signature dimple pattern specifically designed to provide a secure, slip-resistant grip. Combined with the ergonomic shape, it remains stable in your hand even during repetitive prep tasks.
Global uses a unique construction method where the hollow handle is filled with a precise amount of sand. This creates a perfectly weighted feel that shifts the center of gravity toward the handle, giving you more control and reducing wrist fatigue during extended use.
While it is optimized for vegetables, the 7-inch blade is also excellent for slicing boneless meats and handling large prep tasks. However, it is not designed for cutting through bone or frozen foods, which could damage the fine edge.
