Global – Cook’s Knife 16cm GS-100

Professional chefs might be highly-strung types, prone to passionate arguments – but when it comes to Global knives, chefs everywhere can agree that these knives are the best around.

Global knives are renowned for their superior quality, their sharper-than-sharp cutting edges, perfect weighting, and their instantly recognizable design. Global draws its manufacturing inspiration from ancient Japanese swordsmiths, who perfected the art of sword-making to produce strong, sharp blades for the samurai, while also taking ingenuity from German and Italian fields of technology and design.

In short, if you invest in a Global knife, you’ll carry it with you, from one kitchen to another, for a lifetime.

Today, following both their nation’s time-honoured traditions and innovative nature, Global continue to produce knives of the finest quality. And, just like the swords of the samurai past, each Global knife lends distinction to the chef who uses it – amateur or professional.

• Prior to sharpening, place whetstone in water for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the whetstone to absorb sufficient moisture.
• Hold the knife so that the blade meets the coarse side of the whetstone at an angle of 10⁰ to 15⁰, then complete the process on the fine side.
• For best results, the front of the blade should be polished about 70% and the back of the blade about 30%.
• After sharpening, knives should be washed in hot water and then thoroughly dried.
