Know before you buy
The 20cm G-78 Cook's Knife is your primary tool for heavy-duty tasks like chopping vegetables and slicing proteins, while the 11cm GSF-46 Utility Knife is designed for smaller, more intricate work like peeling, trimming, or slicing fruit.
While the stainless steel construction is durable, we strongly recommend hand-washing these knives with mild detergent and drying them immediately. Dishwashers can dull the blades and potentially damage the handle finish over time.
CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel that is specifically hardened to hold a razor-sharp edge longer than standard cutlery steel. It also offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, which is essential for a high-performance kitchen tool.
Yes, the signature dimpled pattern is specifically engineered to provide a secure, slip-resistant grip. The ergonomic design ensures the knife feels stable and balanced in your hand, even during repetitive cutting tasks.
Because these knives feature a traditional straight edge, they can be maintained using a whetstone or a high-quality manual sharpener designed for Japanese-style blades. Avoid using serrated-style pull-through sharpeners, as they can damage the fine edge of the steel.
