Global 40th Anniversary Knives Collection

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 collection of everyday essentials for chopping, dicing, paring and slicing. Each knife is made from Cromova stainless steel in a process borrowed from the ancient art of samurai sword making.

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 mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
• Use honing steel only when you feel the knife has lost some of its original sharpness, usually no sooner than 6 months after 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 2 weeks, it is time to have it sharpened.
• Sharpen knife at home using whetstone or knife sharpener, or have it sharpened by a professional.
• Store in safe place to protect edge and prevent injury.
