Know before you buy
The set includes six essential knives: an 8" Chef's Knife (G-2), an 8.5" Serrated Bread Knife (G-9), a 5.5" Vegetable Knife (GS-5), a 5" Utility Knife (GS-3), a 4.25" Utility Knife (GSF-22), and a 3" Paring Knife (GSF-15).
No, these knives should be hand-washed only. Dishwashers can damage the blade edge and the handle finish, so we recommend washing them with mild soap and drying them immediately to maintain their quality.
CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary stainless steel alloy that is ice-tempered and hardened to 56-58 Rockwell. This allows the blades to hold a razor-sharp edge for longer while remaining resistant to rust and corrosion.
The Hiro block combines acrylic, stainless steel, and hardwood for a modern aesthetic that is more visually open than traditional blocks. It provides secure, organized storage while allowing you to easily see and access your blades.
Yes, Global knives are known for their lightweight construction and ergonomic, balanced handles. Their slim profile often makes them more comfortable and easier to maneuver for users who find traditional, heavier Western-style knives cumbersome.
Yes, the Global Hiro Knife Block Set is covered by a manufacturer's lifetime warranty, which protects against defects in materials and workmanship under normal household use.
