Global 40th Anniversary Knife Block, Set of 5

Summary

Global's award-winning knives are made to the exacting standards of professional Japanese chefs, who prize their perfect balance, light weight and seamless construction. To celebrate their 40th anniversary, Global is offering a limited-edition set – an Asian chef's knife, Kiritsuke, paring knife and shears – four everyday essentials for chopping and dicing, paring and slicing, along with a stainless-steel storage block. Each knife is made from Cromova stainless steel in a process borrowed from the ancient art of samurai sword making.

• Limited edition set in honor of Global's 40th anniversary.
• Stamped blades are made from exceptionally hard Cromova 18 high-carbon stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to resist corrosion.
• Prominent 1/4"-edges are visible to the naked eye and ground straight to a point rather than beveled, resulting in impressive sharpness and edge retention.
• Stainless-steel handles are seamlessly constructed and textured for a good grip.
• Crafted to professional standards, these knives are lightweight yet perfectly balanced.
• Etched with Global's 40th anniversary logo.

Use & Care

Use

• Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
• Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
• It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone, as other blades can be easily damaged.

Care

• Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
• Use the honing steel only when you feel the knife has lost some of its original sharpness, usually no sooner than six months after its first use. As you continue to use your Global knife, it will require more frequent honing. If you need to hone your knife more than once every two weeks, it is time to have it sharpened.
• Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener, or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.
