Know before you buy
The 7-inch blade offers slightly more agility and control, making it an excellent choice for cooks who find standard 8-inch knives cumbersome. It provides enough length for most chopping tasks while feeling more maneuverable for detailed prep work.
No, the handle features Global's signature dimpled pattern, which is specifically designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are damp. The ergonomic shape also helps you maintain a firm hold during repetitive cutting motions.
The seamless design eliminates the gap between the blade and handle where food particles and bacteria typically accumulate. This makes the knife significantly more hygienic and easier to clean, while also providing a balanced, sturdy feel in the hand.
Because this knife is made from high-quality CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, it holds an edge exceptionally well. To maintain its sharpness, we recommend regular honing with a ceramic or diamond rod and occasional professional sharpening or use of a whetstone.
No, this knife is designed for precision tasks like slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables or boneless meats. Using it on bone or frozen foods can chip the fine, razor-sharp edge of the Japanese steel.
