Global UKON 6-Piece Professional Kitchen Knife Set, CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel – Contains 5 Kitchen Knives & 1 Knife Block

Product Information

The standard design for its knives seesWusthofpair stainless steel from Germany with wooden or synthetic handles with multiple rivets. Adding a handle to the steel instead of the hollow, sand-filled handle found in Global knives alters the appearance ofWusthofKnives and makes them heavier as well. The serrated knife, commonly used for fruits and bread, has small, grooved edges that mean it can tear through food easily. The best practice is to wash knives in hot, soapy water and then dry them with a tea towel, rather than leaving them to air. We do always test dishwasher-safe claims, regardless. On the other hand, since the forging process involves shaping steel molecules, it results in a stronger knife that is less flexible. The process also leaves you with a more comfortable and well-balanced knife that has better structural integrity.

This set comes with three knives: the GS-2 chef’s knife, a GS-38 paring knife perfect for slicing and dicing vegetables, and a cook’s knife.Start with getting your hands on a guide before sharpening your Global knife. Using any random sharpening process will not be as effective. Next, pay attention to the sharpening angle and always make sure it is accurate. An incorrect angle could damage your blade. Though the set is more affordable, it still offers the same quality that all Global Knives are known for in the industry. For instance, the blades are made from the sameCromova18 stainless steel material. During testing, we found these knives really easy to use. They had a good grip, felt light, and the super-sharp blades glided through everything we cut. The chef’s knife was particularly impressive, handling hard fruits and vegetables, such as melon and celeriac, with utter ease. Sharpening the knives was also a really easy task – the knife just needed to be inserted into the sharpening slot and a few pulls of the lever left them super sharp. Ninja states these knives will stay sharp for up to 10 years with regular sharpening.

The unique CROMOVA 18 material offers an extremely sharp blade and also ensures that the sharpness is maintained much longer than with other knives. Despite this, they will need regular sharpening if you want to continue to enjoy the high quality and ease cutting that is offered by this innovative and popular brand. Choose between ceramic and waterstones. Global knives were first developed in 1985 by knife designerKominYamada. He aimed to create a knife that would be useful in the hands of both a professional chef and a home cook. The brand’s production process ensures customers have access to blades of the highest possible quality.
