Global G-5 Vegetable Chopper Nakiri 18cm

The G-5 Vegetable Chopping Knife Nakiri from Global is the perfect tool for slicing vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, and cabbage. The razor-sharp blade has a straight edge, allowing you to use the entire cutting surface.

The advantages of Global knives

Global knives are made from patented and super-hard Cromova 18 steel. No other knife brand is permitted to use this steel. The handle is the most striking part of Global knives. The small dimples provide more than average grip when cutting, even with wet hands. Additionally, the handle is hollow and filled with sand, so the knife fits perfectly in your hand. The sand is carefully measured to ensure 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 to a very keen edge. Cromova 18 steel has a hardness of 58 HRC. The hardness is therefore slightly less than many other Japanese knives, with the great advantage that you can easily resharpen 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, which makes the edge much stronger. You can also resharpen these convex ground knives yourself. Use a sharpening stone for this!

How to care for your Global knives?

We advise against putting your Global knives in the dishwasher. In the dishwasher, your knife can come into contact with other (flying around) 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 cannot get trapped anywhere.
