Refined and Global 5 1/2 inch / 14cm Cheese Knife

Revised content:

The Global cheese knife features a curved blade with strategically placed holes that allow it to smoothly slice through medium-firm and firm cheeses without the blade sticking. The blade is crafted from high-tech molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, ensuring exceptional durability and performance.

The stainless-steel handle is molded for comfortable grip, with a dimpled texture that provides a secure and safe hold. This thoughtful design enhances the user's experience and reduces the risk of slipping during use.

Global's innovative approach to knife-making has earned them a reputation as a leading alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Their blades are made from hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and undergo a "face-grinding" process, which gives them a long taper rather than a short bevel. This results in edges that remain sharper for longer, even compared to the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives.

The edges of Global knives are also ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives, arriving from the factory razor-sharp and ready for use. While Global offers a "heavyweight" line for cooks who prefer heavier knives, the original Global knives, including this cheese knife, feature thinner blades and are lighter than their European counterparts.

The balance of these knives is achieved through a unique design that involves injecting a precise amount of sand into the hollow handle. As the blade is maneuvered, the sand flows inside the handle, ensuring continuous balance and control. Additionally, a finger notch between the blade and handle provides added safety during use.

This 5-1/2-inch Global cheese knife is equipped with a one-sided, finely serrated and scalloped edge, enabling it to cut through tough cheese rinds with ease. The blade also features prongs on the end, allowing users to easily pick up and serve sliced cheese.

Global recommends using specific sharpening tools, such as a ceramic sharpener, diamond steel, or a combination of a synthetic or ceramic whetstone and a Shinkansen sharpener, to maintain the knives' exceptional edge. They also provide a Sharpening Guide Rail to ensure the proper angle is maintained during the sharpening process. To protect the blades, Global knives should be hand-washed, and they come with a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage.
