Global 3.15-inch cheese knife. This cheese knife is ideal for slicing hard cheeses and looks great on a cheese platter. Loved by professional chefs around the world, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook. The thin and razor-sharp Global blade allows the cook to cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of the ingredient, and maximizing its flavor. The majority of Global knives are ground to a straight point rather than the western style of beveling the edge. To balance their knives Global uses a hollow handle that is filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. The handle has its own unique darkened dimples for a non-slip grip. Because the knives are very light weight they reduce hand fatigue. Global knives have a smooth contour and seamless, all stainless construction that eliminates food and dirt traps. Global knives are forged in Japan from Cromova 18 stainless steel, a blend of 18-percent chromium for good stain resistance plus molybdenum and vanadium which gives excellent edge retention.
