This forged Global vegetable knife has an 8" (20 cm) blade that measures 2-1/8" wide at the widest point. The knife measures 12-1/2" in overall length. This knife is forged, which compresses the molecules of the metal and produces a heavier and more durable knife.
Global kitchen knives are crafted by hand in Niijata, Japan. The blades utilize molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C 56-58 degrees to hold a taper-ground, razor sharp edge. The slim Global design aids mobility and is comfortable for the smaller hand. The handle is welded to make a totally seamless tool, and smooth contours assure the ultimate in hygiene. The textured handle gives a positive grip even when the hand is wet.
Global knives were first designed in 1985.
