Know before you buy
The Master Series is specifically designed with a thicker blade spine and a heavier handle. This provides the extra heft and stability that professional chefs often prefer for heavy-duty vegetable prep compared to the lighter, thinner feel of Global's classic line.
Yes, the thicker back of this vegetable knife provides the necessary durability for denser produce. However, like all high-performance Japanese blades, it is designed for precision slicing rather than hacking through bones or frozen foods.
This knife is not dishwasher safe. You should hand wash it with mild detergent and dry it immediately after use to protect the CROMOVA 18 steel from potential spotting or edge dulling.
No, the handle features Global's signature dimpled pattern, which is engineered to provide a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are damp. The seamless construction also prevents food particles from getting trapped, making it highly hygienic.
Because this knife is crafted from high-carbon CROMOVA 18 steel, it holds a very sharp edge. We recommend using a whetstone or a high-quality ceramic sharpener specifically designed for Japanese-style blades to maintain its performance.
