The Global 8" Cook's Knife is a versatile, all-purpose Japanese knife designed for precise and efficient everyday food preparation. Crafted from Global's proprietary CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, the blade is formulated with chromium for corrosion resistance, carbon for hardness, molybdenum for toughness, and vanadium for a fine grain structure. Its 8" blade provides an excellent balance of maneuverability and cutting power, making it ideal for chopping vegetables, slicing meats, mincing herbs, and handling a wide range of kitchen tasks. The hollow handle is filled with dry sand and sealed, allowing the sand to shift the center of gravity toward the bolster for a lighter, well-balanced feel. The ergonomic dimpled handle provides a secure, slip-resistant grip, while the seamless one-piece stainless steel construction enhances durability, hygiene, and easy maintenance. Made in Japan.
