Global G-1 Chef's Knife 21cm

Global's large handle slicer knives are available in two sizes, the G-1 at 21 cm and the G-6 at 18 cm, and there is also a small handle equivalent, the GS-2.

It's called a slicer knife because of its rounded blunt end. It's very similar to the G-2 in that regard, but is designed for slicing meat into pieces. The idea behind the blunt end is that the tip doesn't get caught in the meat as you slice, allowing you to glide smoothly through the meat. These slicers work particularly well with meat close to the bone, such as chicken or duck. Nevertheless, the size and shape of the blade also lend themselves well to general use, and this Global knife can be used as a versatile knife for slicing vegetables.

The advantages of Global knives

Global knives are made from patented and super hard Cromova 18 steel. No other knife brand is allowed to use this steel. The handle is the most striking part of Global knives. The small dimples provide more than average grip during slicing, even when your hands are wet. In addition, the handle is hollow and filled with sand, so the knife fits perfectly in your hand. The sand is very carefully measured, so your knife is perfectly balanced in your hand.

More about Cromova 18 steel

The fine grain structure of this unique steel ensures that the knives can be sharpened very sharply. Cromova 18 steel has a hardness of 58 HRC. The hardness is therefore slightly less than many other Japanese knives. With the big advantage that you can easily sharpen your knives yourself. Global knives are convex ground. This means that the edge of the blade is not ground in a V-shape, but in a U-shape. This makes the edge much stronger. You can also sharpen these convex ground knives yourself. Use a sharpening stone for this!

How do you care for your Global knives?

We advise you not to put your Global knives in the dishwasher. In the dishwasher, your knife may come into contact with other (flying) kitchen utensils. You don't want scratches or dents on your blade, do you? Fortunately, a Global knife is easy to clean by hand. The handle and the blade merge seamlessly, so dirt can't get stuck anywhere.
