Global GS-10 Cheese Knife - 5 1/2 inch, 14cm

The cheese knife features a curved blade with holes that allows it to effortlessly glide through cheese without sticking. The blade is constructed from high-tech molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, known for its durability and sharpness. The stainless-steel handle is ergonomically molded for comfort and dimpled to provide a secure grip.

Hailing from Japan, Global knives made a significant impact in the culinary world as an innovative alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. These knives are renowned for their high-quality construction, featuring blades made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel that are "face-ground" with a long taper, ensuring long-lasting sharpness. The edges are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives, arriving from the factory razor-sharp.

The original Global knives, including the cheese knife, have thinner and lighter blades compared to traditional European-style knives. The balance of the knife is achieved by injecting a specific amount of sand into the hollow handle, ensuring continuous balance as the blade is maneuvered. In addition, a finger notch between the blade and handle provides added safety. The knife's 5-1/2-inch blade is designed with holes to prevent sticking when cutting medium-firm and firm cheeses. The single-sided edge is finely serrated and scalloped for cutting through rinds, and prongs on the end allow for easy serving.

One of Global's most distinctive features is the stainless-steel handle, which is molded to fit the hand and dimpled to prevent slipping. The design is smaller and more ergonomic than many European-style handles, making it suitable for cooks with smaller hands and seamless for sanitation purposes. To maintain the sharpness of Global knives, it is recommended to use a ceramic sharpener, diamond steel, synthetic whetstone, ceramic whetstone, or Shinkansen sharpener. A Sharpening Guide Rail is also available for honing blades at the proper angle.

For maintenance, Global knives should be hand washed to protect their edges. They are backed by a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. Fred Brack, a renowned expert, highly recommends Global knives for their exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
