Product Description
-------------------
"Perfect for peeling fruits and vegetables, hulling
strawberries, creating garnishes and more, this sleek, nimble
paring excels in any situation that calls for a little
finesse. A common in commercial kitchens and designed to
meet the exacting standards of professional chefs, Global knives
pair handcrafted quality with cutting-edge materials and
construction techniques. Each Global features a precisely
balanced, lightweight design that reduces hand igue and
ensures perfect control at the cutting board. . FEATURESForged
from a single piece of stainless steel for incredible strength,
durability and performance. Lightweight G18 CROMOVA steel takes
and holds a lasting edge—even at the ultra-sharp 12.5° angle used
in Japanese cutlery. Sleek, ergonomic handles feature Global’s
signature dimple pattern for a secure grip, comfort and control.
Seamless design is hygienic and easy to maintain. Global knives
are perfectly balanced, thanks to handles precisely calibrated to
offset the weight of the blade. Manufacturer: Global. Material:
Stainless steel. Care: Hand wash only. Dimensions: 3" blade.
Warranty: Lifetime warranty. Made in Japan. 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's
original knives have thinner blades and are lighter than
traditional European-style knives, Global also makes a
European-style "heavyweight" line for cooks who prefer hefty
cutlerylike this 3-inch paring for cleaning and peeling
vegetables and fruits. Global also dispensed with bolsters on
most of its knives, including this one. Most Global knives have
hollow handles, but the handle on this is solid.
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 "
