Know before you buy
The set includes four essential Global Classic knives: the 8-inch G-2 Chef's Knife, the 8.5-inch G-9 Bread Knife, the 5.5-inch GS-5 Vegetable Knife, and the 4.25-inch GSF-22 Utility Knife.
No, these knives should be hand washed only. Dishwashers can damage the high-performance CROMOVA 18 stainless steel edges and the handle finish.
CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary stainless steel alloy developed by Global that is designed to hold a razor-sharp edge longer while remaining resistant to rust and stains. It allows the knives to be thinner and lighter than traditional Western-style blades without sacrificing durability.
The block features durable acrylic panes that hold the knives securely in a vertical orientation. This design keeps the sharp edges from coming into contact with other surfaces, preventing dulling and ensuring safe storage.
The block is specifically configured with five slots to accommodate the included four knives. While it is a compact, space-saving design, it does not have extra capacity for additional blades.
Global provides a manufacturer's lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. This ensures long-term peace of mind for your investment in these professional-grade tools.
