Unique features and specifications

• Patented Cromova 18 steel : Global knives are crafted from Cromova 18 steel, a patented steel used exclusively by Global. This steel has a very fine grain structure, allowing the knife to be sharpened to an exceptionally sharp edge. With a hardness of 58 HRC, it offers the perfect balance between sharpness and durability. Furthermore, the steel is corrosion-resistant, meaning it remains virtually rust-free.
• Designed by Komin Yamada: Komin Yamada is a Japanese designer commissioned by Yoshikin in 1985 to create the first series of Global knives. His innovative design combined traditional Japanese forging with modern production techniques, resulting in knives known worldwide for their exceptional sharpness, balance, and hygienic, seamless construction.
• Ergonomic and hygienic design: The knife is crafted from a single piece of steel with a seamless transition between the blade and handle. This makes it exceptionally hygienic, as dirt and bacteria can't accumulate between the cracks. The handle features a non-slip texture for optimal grip and comfort, without pre-formed recesses, making it suitable for any hand.
• Convex-ground blade: The blade of the GS7 Office knife is convex-ground. This means the edge has a slight curve instead of a straight V-shape. This provides extra strength and makes the knife more durable. This type of edge allows you to cut ingredients effortlessly with minimal effort.
• Dishwasher safe : No
• Weight : 90 grams
• Blade length : 10 cm
• Total length : 22 cm
• Blade hardness : 58 HRC

Maintaining your Global knife

Cleaning : Although the knife is made of stainless steel, we recommend not cleaning it in the dishwasher. High temperatures and harsh detergents can damage the steel and cause oxidation. Therefore, wash the knife by hand and dry it immediately to extend its lifespan.

Sharpening your Global knife : To maintain the sharpness of your Global knife, regular maintenance is necessary. Use a ceramic sharpening steel or a diamond sharpener for interim maintenance. For more thorough sharpening, we recommend a whetstone or water sharpener.

Proper storage : Store your knife safely in a knife block, magnetic strip, or special protective cover. This prevents damage to the blade and extends the life of your knife.

Use the right surface : Always use a high-quality cutting board made of wood or plastic to maintain your knife's sharpness. Hard surfaces like glass or stone can quickly dull the blade.
