## Description

Product Description The chef's knife is the multipurpose workhorse of the kitchen. Perfect for mincing, cutting, chopping, slicing and prep work. The "workhorse" of the kitchen is perfect for cutting, chopping, slicing and prep work. desertcart.com High tech from tip to handle, Global knives from Japan created a sensation when they burst onto the world's culinary stage as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Blades are made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and "face-ground" with a long taper rather than a short bevel so edges remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. Edges also are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrive from the factory razor-sharp. Although Global also makes a "heavyweight" line for cooks who prefer hefty knives, its original knives--of which this 8-inch chef's knife is an example--have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. Global also dispensed with bolsters on its original knives to reduce weight. Balance is achieved by injecting a precise amount of sand for a particular blade style into a hollow handle. To ensure balance is continuous, the sand flows inside the handle as a blade is maneuvered. A finger notch between blade and handle provides safety. Stainless-steel handles are Global's most striking feature. They're molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. Smaller around than many European-style handles, they're easy for small-handed cooks to grasp and seamless for sanitation. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steel for its knives, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen sharpener. Global also makes a Sharpening Guide Rail so blades can be honed on a whetstone at the proper angle. Global knives should be hand washed to protect edges. They carry a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. --Fred Brack

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the Global knives dishwasher safe?**
A: The knife is 100% stainless steel and is absolutely dishwasher safe, do not believe the knife-nazi hype. THAT BEING SAID, I have a 3rd drawer in my dishwasher which is all the way at the top of the cabinet, and allows me to place the knife lengthwise with blade edge facing down in it's own slot, where the edge of the blade is held in small plastic tines so it cannot bounce around and hit other hard objects. DO NOT place the knife haphazardly in the rack where it can bang around against other items or metal racks. Occasionally I get small rust spots on the blade which come off in seconds with a green scrubby pad. No amount of careful handling will prevent the blade from dulling. It will need to be sharpened periodically. I have washed my global knife in the dishwasher for years and maintain a shaving sharp blade with a diamond stone and a polish-coated strop, however any reasonable sharpening system will work. "Never put a kitchen knife in the dishwasher" is an old wives tale and simply not based in reality. Splashing hot soapy water on any knife made of stainless/ceramic/plastic just won't cause damage, period. Do not place a wood handled knife in the washer because the wood will swell, dry and crack, which is where this outdated advice comes from.I do not own any wooden handled knives for this reason, wash all of them in the dishwasher regularly, and they all can shave the hairs on my arm. I sharpen about once every 6 months on the diamond "stones", and about once a month with a diamond coated "honing steel". A few strokes on my leather strop keeps the razors edge, and will remove any small burrs, "wire", or rolls of the edge.A good knife is a tool and should be treated as such. Use it, maintain it, and do not be afraid of it. They are not precious works of art that need to be handled with kid gloves.

**Q: are the blades stamped or forged?**
A: There seems to be some confusion with the previous answers given. Global makes stamped AND forged knives. This knife, the G-2, is stamped, not forged. They make a heavier duty line of forged cutler, which are prefixed with GF. The forged version (8.25") of this knife is model #GF-33 (http://www.amazon.com/Global-GF-33-4-Inch-21-cm-Heavyweight/dp/B00005OL4N). I own this as well as quite a few other Global knives, and they are all excellent. I actually prefer the stamped to the forged version. It is lighter and very nimble in my hands. It comes down to a preference to European type chef knives (Sabatier, Wüsthof, Henckels, etc) vs Asian type chef knives (Global, Shun, MAC, etc). I prefer the lighter style of Asian knife without a heavy bolster over my Henckels. YYMV. This knife is extremely sharp, however, and is one of my favorite knives that I own. Using it is simply a joy unto itself!

**Q: Does the knife come with a case or sheath?**
A: This listing has a sheath: amazon.com/dp/B07WD5K8NB

**Q: I am trying to register this knife with global since there is a lifetime warranty. There is no serial number on the knife, do you know where it is?**
A: After 23 or so years of use, had a smaller Global knife snap between handle and blade.  Global fully honored the warranty, fully replaced it.  I don’t recall ever registering it, Global just asked for photos of old knife and the pieces back once new one arrived.  My other 5 knifes have had zero problems. Great knife, great company that backs its products
