8 Chef's Knife

The kitchen workhorse, the chef's knife, excels at mincing, cutting, chopping, slicing, and prep work. Hailing from Japan, Global knives are the epitome of high-tech cutlery, offering a modern alternative to traditional European-style knives. Crafted from durable molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, the blades are "face-ground" with a long taper to maintain sharp edges longer than other high-carbon stainless-steel options. The knives are ground at a more acute angle compared to their European counterparts and are meticulously sharpened from the factory.

Global's original knives, such as the 8-inch chef's knife, feature thinner blades and are lighter in weight, with no bolsters for reduced weight. The hollow handle is filled with a precise amount of sand for optimal balance, ensuring a comfortable and safe grip with a finger notch between the blade and handle. The stainless-steel handles are uniquely molded to fit the hand, dimpled for a secure hold, and easier for cooks with smaller hands to handle.

To maintain the sharpness of Global knives, it is recommended to use a ceramic sharpener, diamond steel, or a synthetic whetstone, in addition to a ceramic whetstone or Shinkansen sharpener. The brand also offers a Sharpening Guide Rail for honing blades at the correct angle on a whetstone. Hand washing is advised to protect the blade's edges, and each Global knife comes with a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage.

In summary, the 8-inch chef's knife from Global is a lightweight, perfectly balanced tool with a blade crafted from high-tech molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, ensuring exceptional sharpness retention. The comfortable stainless-steel handle is designed for ergonomic use and a secure grip, making it a versatile and reliable option for any kitchen.
