Global Classic 5.5 in. Vegetable Knife GS-5

Product Overview

Global Classic 5.5" Vegetable Knife

Also known as a Nakiri knife. A Japanese-style square-tip knife that is great for chopping meat, root vegetables and big prep jobs. Popular alternative to the Santoku. This knife takes its inspiration from Japanese Usaba (Vegetable Knives), the relatively flat parts of the blade are designed to chop through fruit and vegetables and come into full contact with the chopping board and give a clean cut. The front of the blades are more curved like a chef's knife, to allow the knife to be rocked gently forward after each cut and encourage good technique. The GS series is a classic collection of small to medium-sized knives for general and special preparation.

The blade is constructed of a single piece of steel, with a unique convex edge for unsurpassed performance.

Made of hollow handles which are then filled with sand to achieve the desired weight and deliver the perfect balance.

Perfectly balanced knives provide optimal control.

The blade is made of the finest stainless steel called CROMOVA 18 (Chromium, Molybdenum and Vanadium), designed exclusively for GLOBAL®.

Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56 - C58 degrees which holds the razor-sharp edge of the blade longer than any other steel.

Ergonomic, stainless steel hygienic handles with signature dimple pattern offer a comfortable, slip-resistant grip.

Crafted by hand in Yoshikin’s factory in Niigata, Japan.
