FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Cromova 18 steel and why is it special?
Cromova 18 is Global's proprietary high-carbon stainless steel, strengthened with molybdenum and vanadium. It's ice-tempered to create an extremely hard blade that holds a razor edge exceptionally well and offers great resistance to rust and stain, outperforming many standard steels.

Are Global knives dishwasher safe?
No, to preserve the razor-sharp edge and the integrity of the handles, hand washing with mild soap and immediate drying is strongly recommended. Dishwasher detergents and high heat can damage the blades and handles over time.

What is a Nakiri knife best used for?
The Nakiri is a traditional Japanese vegetable knife with a straight, thin blade. It's perfect for precise, push-cut chopping of vegetables, mincing herbs, and creating fine julienne cuts with minimal sticking and waste.

How does the balance of a Global knife improve performance?
The hollow handles are filled with sand to achieve a perfect balance point. This results in a lightweight knife that feels like an extension of your hand, reducing wrist strain and providing superior control for intricate and prolonged cutting tasks.

Where are Global knives manufactured?
All Global knives are proudly made in Japan, reflecting the country's long-standing tradition of superior blade craftsmanship and quality control.
