## Description

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 4-1/4-inch paring 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. Global achieves balance on these knives 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 the cook maneuvers the blade. 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 the seamless construction between handle and blade is more sanitary. This knife's wedge-shaped handle is particularly well engineered for grasping securely with a relaxed hand. 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 set 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

Review: Great knife and it's definitely changed my mind about the design - for the better! - Love, love, LOVE this knife! I was fully expecting to pull out my whetstone when this arrived to sharpen the factory-edge - but I've had it a couple months now (it gets lots of use) and the factory edge is still wickedly sharp (I hone before use, to maintain it). I had a MAC before this and it developed a couple tiny rust spots and a chip popped out of the blade within a week of purchase, so even though I've never bee partial to the handle design, I opted to give Global a whirl. This little knife has made me a fan and I will definitely consider more Global products down the road if needed. Well balanced, holds the edge well, it's my favourite go-to, even more than my chef's knife. My only caveat - watch when cleaning it because with no bolster, the heel of this puppy can find it's way into a finger pretty quickly.
Review: One of the best kitchen knives I have owned - Top quality knife, razor sharp and feels very good in your hands. Great weight and balance. I will order more of these in different sizes.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Since beveled edges knives are designed for right handers, are these more user friendly for left-handers?**
A: This is not a single-bevel knife.  That being said, beveled knives come in both left, and right-handed versions.

This knife will have an edge similar to common "German" knives meaning sharpened equally on both sides.
