Hollow-Ground Blade to Help Reduce Food Sticking

One of the key features that distinguishes the GLOBAL G-61 is its hollow-ground, fluted blade.

The small indentations along the blade help reduce the contact area between certain foods and the steel during cutting. This can be particularly useful when working with ingredients that tend to stick to a conventional flat blade.

The fluted blade can make cutting certain vegetables, fish, meat and other ingredients more convenient by helping food release more easily from the blade.

This feature makes the G-61 an interesting choice for anyone looking for a GLOBAL hollow-ground kitchen knife 20 cm.

CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel

The GLOBAL G-61 is made with CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, one of the materials associated with GLOBAL Japanese knives.

This steel is designed to provide a combination of hardness, corrosion resistance and good edge retention when properly maintained.

The steel and manufacturing process contribute to the knife's cutting performance, while its stainless-steel construction makes it practical to maintain and clean in a professional or home kitchen.

To maintain the G-61 correctly, we recommend hand washing it after use, drying it thoroughly and sharpening it regularly with a suitable sharpening system to keep the edge in good condition.

Distinctive GLOBAL Design and Balance

The GLOBAL G-61 features GLOBAL's characteristic one-piece stainless-steel construction, with the blade and handle forming a continuous design.

Its distinctive metal handle features the familiar GLOBAL dimpled surface, designed to provide a secure grip and good control during cutting.

Balance is another important characteristic of GLOBAL knives. The hollow handle is weighted to achieve an appropriate distribution of weight, helping provide a controlled and comfortable feel during food preparation.

The result is a distinctive Japanese kitchen knife with a minimalist appearance and a design created for everyday professional and home use.

It is long enough to work comfortably with larger ingredients while remaining manageable for everyday cutting and chopping.
