Refined and Multipurpose Vegetable Knife

Revised Content:

Lightweight, Precisely Balanced 7-inch Vegetable Knife

Also known as a Nakiri knife, this Japanese-style square-tip blade is an excellent choice for chopping meat, root vegetables, and large prep tasks. It serves as a popular alternative to the Santoku knife.

Developed by the renowned Japanese brand Global, this knife exemplifies their innovative approach to cutlery design. High-tech from tip to handle, Global knives burst onto the culinary scene as a compelling alternative to traditional European-style cutlery.

The blade is crafted from hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and "face-ground" with a long taper, rather than a short bevel. This allows the edge to remain sharper for longer, even compared to the best high-carbon stainless steel knives. The edge is also ground at a more acute angle than traditional European blades, arriving from the factory razor-sharp.

While Global offers a heavier-weight line for those who prefer heftier knives, this 7-inch model features a thinner blade and is lighter than typical European-style counterparts. Global has also eliminated the bolster on this knife to further reduce the weight.

Balance is achieved through a unique construction method, where a precise amount of sand is injected into the hollow handle to match the blade style. As the blade is maneuvered, the sand flows inside the handle to maintain continuous balance. A finger notch between the blade and handle provides an added safety feature.

The stainless-steel handle is a hallmark of the Global design. Molded to fit the hand and dimpled for a secure grip, the handle is smaller in diameter than many European styles, making it comfortable and easy to grasp, even for cooks with smaller hands. This seamless construction also promotes easy sanitization.

Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener, diamond steel, or a combination of a synthetic or ceramic whetstone and their Sharpening Guide Rail to maintain the knives' razor-sharp edges. Hand washing is advised to protect the blades.

Backed by a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage, this 7-inch Global vegetable knife is a high-performance, lightweight, and precisely balanced tool for the modern kitchen.
