Versatile 5.5-inch Vegetable Knife

Revised Content:

The Gs series is a classic collection of small to medium-sized Global knives from Japan that have become a popular alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. These Japanese-style knives, also known as nakiri knives, are renowned for their square-tip design, making them great for chopping meat, root vegetables, and other large prep tasks.

Global knives have been creating a sensation in the culinary world since their introduction as a high-tech, lightweight, and precisely balanced option. The blades are crafted from hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and feature a "face-ground" design with a long taper, rather than a short bevel, allowing the edges to maintain their sharpness longer than even 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, resulting in a razor-sharp edge straight from the factory. While Global offers a "heavyweight" line for cooks who prefer heavier knives, the original Global knives, like the 5-1/2-inch model for slicing and chopping vegetables, have thinner blades and are lighter than their European counterparts.

To achieve a balanced feel, Global knives have a hollow handle design that is injected with a precise amount of sand for each blade style. This allows the sand to flow inside the handle as the blade is maneuvered, ensuring continuous balance. Additionally, Global has eliminated the traditional bolster on their original knives to further reduce weight.

The stainless-steel handles of Global knives are a standout feature, molded to fit the hand comfortably and dimpled to resist slipping. Smaller in diameter than many European-style handles, they are easy for small-handed cooks to grasp and are seamless for easy cleaning and sanitation.

Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener, diamond steel, or a synthetic or ceramic whetstone, as well as their own Sharpening Guide Rail, to maintain the edges of their knives. To protect the blades, Global knives should be hand-washed, and they come with a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage.
