Global GNS-04 Chinese Vegetable Knife 11cm

The Global NI NS-01 Vegetable Knife, with a blade length of 11 cm, is characterized by a relatively wide blade. This makes the knife ideal for cutting fruits and vegetables, as well as chopping various herbs. The Global NI kitchen knife series is the second line in Global's latest generation, where 'NI' stands for 'two'. These NI knives possess all the characteristics that have made Global a renowned brand: perfect balance, striking design, and of course, an exceptionally sharp edge.

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 when cutting, even with wet hands. Additionally, the handle is hollow and filled with sand, ensuring the knife fits perfectly in your hand. The sand is meticulously 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 cutting edge of the blade is not ground in a V-shape, but in a U-shape, which makes the edge much stronger. These convex ground knives can also be resharpened 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 the blade blend seamlessly, so dirt cannot get stuck anywhere.
