Global G83/AN Oriental Cleaver 18cm - 40th Anniversary

Forty years of Global, and you don't celebrate that with cake but with steel. This oriental cleaver from the 40th Anniversary series goes through onions, herbs, meat and fish as if it were nothing, and proudly bears the anniversary logo on the blade.

Chopping, slicing and rocking

The wide 18 cm blade with the slightly rounded edge lets you go in every direction. Chopping straight down, rocking through a bunch of parsley, or slicing your vegetables into neat slices: this knife does it all without complaining. Handy for those who prefer to grab one good knife rather than a whole drawer full of questionable ones.

Dimples against sticking

Along the edge are the recognizable dimples. They create a layer of air between the steel and your ingredient, so that slices of potato, cucumber or salmon don't stick to the blade like Velcro. You cut through, the knife stays clean.

Cromova 18, razor-sharp and rust-resistant

Global makes its knives from its own Cromova 18 steel, with a hardness of around 57 HRC. That gives a sharp edge that lasts a long time and doesn't flinch at a little moisture. Blade and handle form one seamless whole, so there are no edges where dirt can hide.

That familiar handle

The hollow stainless steel handle is filled with sand for a nice balance and is full of black dots for grip, even with wet hands. The design by Komin Yamada has been a classic for decades and fits just as nicely in a left as a right hand.

Anniversary edition from Japan

This G-83/40LC was made in honor of Global's 40th anniversary and is manufactured in Japan. A limited edition, so, but too good to leave in the display case. You wash it by hand, with warm water and a drop of dish soap. Looking for a companion? Check the other Global knives.
