Global Vegetable Knife Fluted 18cm

$199.99

Global knives are manufactured by Yoshikin in Niigata, Japan from Cromova 18 stainless steel. The two most innovative features of Global knives are their edge and the way they are balanced. Global knife edges are ground straight to a point rather than beveled, resulting in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer. To balance their knives, Global uses a hollow handle which is then filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance.

Similar to a cleaver but without the height, this vegetable knife is a perfect everyday knife for all general-cooking purposes. Food sticks less to fluted knives due to the air pockets which are created during cutting.

The curved blade enables a rocking cut and wide surface enables knuckle clearance and gathering of cut food. The G-series knives were among the first Japanese knives to be introduced to Western markets and have a devout following of happy customers.
