Global GN-002 Chinese Chef's Knife Dimpled 20cm

This Global Ni-Oriental 'Fluted GN-002 Chef's Knife' is one of the few fluted knives in the Global Ni range. The knife has an oriental design, meaning the tip of the knife is slightly raised, allowing you to use the rock n' chop method.

Additionally, its length (20cm) makes the knife very suitable for all medium to heavy tasks in the kitchen, making it the preferred choice due to its versatility. Finally, flutes have been applied to the blade to help prevent food from sticking to the knife, which is very efficient for repetitive kitchen tasks, saving you time and energy.

Global Ni handles retain Global's famous dimples to provide grip, and with a seamless connection between the handle and the blade, they maintain Global's distinctive look and design. The chef's knife is perfect for chopping, slicing, dicing, mincing, and prep work.

The advantages of Global knives

Global knives are made from patented and extremely 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 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 so that 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 acutely. 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. This 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) 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 blade blend seamlessly, so dirt cannot get stuck anywhere.
