Global Classic 5-Piece Magnetic Knife Bar Set

A magnetic bar keeps knives off the counter and out of a crowded drawer, and it lets each blade dry in open air after washing. This set pairs four Global Classic knives with a wall-mounted magnetic bar, so the whole collection hangs within reach above the cutting board.

The four knives divide the work clearly. The 8-inch chef’s knife handles most of the board work, and the square-tipped vegetable knife makes clean push cuts through cabbage and greens. The flexible utility knife trims fat and silver skin and fillets small fish, and the paring knife covers peeling and coring. Together they cover meat, fish and vegetables without a bread knife; cooks who slice crusty loaves can add the Global Classic 8.5-inch Bread Knife.


Bar or Block?

Choose the magnetic bar for a small counter or a kitchen where wall space is easier to find than counter space. For a freestanding block, see the Global Ikasu 5-Piece Knife Block Set or the slimmer Global Classic 5-Piece Hashira Knife Block Set. The chef’s knife is sold on its own as the Global Classic 8-inch Chef’s Knife. Our guide to kitchen knife shapes explains each knife in the set.

Tips for Best Results

  • Cut with a forward or backward slicing stroke. Chopping straight down onto the board dulls a thin edge faster.
  • Keep the edge away from bones, frozen food, hard nuts and hard cheese. If the blade catches on something hard, free it with a forward-and-back motion; twisting it sideways can chip or bend the edge.
  • Cut on wood or plastic. Glass, stone, marble and tile surfaces damage the edge.

Care

  • Wash by hand with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse, and dry with a towel right away. Global advises against the dishwasher, since the heat and strong detergents can damage the edge and the steel.
  • Do not soak the knife or clean it with bleach or chlorine cleansers.
  • Hone with a ceramic or diamond rod and sharpen on a whetstone at 10 to 15 degrees. Global recommends ceramic or diamond rods over conventional honing steels.
  • A household stainless steel cleaner removes rust spots left by inadequate drying.
