Unique features and specifications

• Patented CROMOVA 18 steel : Global knives are made of Cromova 18 steel. This type of steel is patented by Global and is therefore used exclusively by them. Due to the very fine grain structure of the steel, the knives can be sharpened to a very sharp edge. Global sharpens them 15° per side, for a total sharpening angle of 30°. The chromium in the steel's composition ensures good corrosion resistance. It is therefore stainless steel. Cromova 18 has a hardness of 58 HRC, slightly lower than most Japanese kitchen knives. The advantage of this is that you can easily sharpen the knives yourself.
• Convex ground : The blade of Global knives is convex ground. This means the edge of the blade is ground in a U-shape instead of a V-shape. The advantage of a convex ground knife is that the edge is much stronger. You can also sharpen convex ground knives yourself. You can use a whetstone (or a belt grinder) for this, but you cannot use a pull-through sharpener.
• Durability and quality : Made of high-quality steel, this cleaver is suitable for heavy-duty kitchen work. Whether chopping a whole chicken, cartilage, pumpkin, or anything else, nothing is too heavy for this cleaver. A lifelong investment in your culinary journey.
• A beautiful gift : This chopping axe comes in a beautiful gift box. This not only protects the chef's knife on its way to you, but also puts a smile on your face when you receive it.
• Warranty : We are completely confident in the quality of Global kitchen knives. That's why we offer a 25-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects!

Maintaining your Global knives
Cleaning your Global knives is very easy. The blade and handle blend seamlessly, so bacteria can't hide anywhere. The stainless steel handle is also much less fragile than wood. The handle of Global knives won't split if left damp for too long. Although the knives are made of stainless steel, we don't recommend putting them in the dishwasher. Contact with other hard objects can scratch the blade. Furthermore, high temperatures and harsh cleaning agents are harmful to the steel. Simply wash your knives by hand and dry them immediately.

Sharpen regularly
Use a whetstone or sharpening steel regularly. This will effortlessly maintain the sharpness and precision of your knife, extend its lifespan, and ensure you continue to enjoy an unparalleled cutting experience.

Storage
Properly storing your knives in a knife block is essential for not only ensuring safety but also extending their lifespan. Storing them this way prevents damage to the cutting edges and ensures they're always within reach when you need them.

Correct substrate
High-quality cutting boards are essential for keeping your knives sharp and extending their lifespan. They provide a soft, non-abrasive surface that prevents knives from dulling quickly and reduces impact on the blade while cutting. Using high-quality cutting boards is an investment in both the performance and durability of your knives.
