Global Classic Knives
Crafted in Japan since 1983, Global Classic knives are known for their distinctive single-piece stainless steel construction. The blades are made from CROMOVA 18, a high-carbon stainless steel containing chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium, which provides good stain resistance and edge retention. Instead of a traditional tang, the hollow stainless steel handle is filled with sand to achieve an ideal weight and balance. This seamless design offers hygienic benefits, as there are no gaps where food can be trapped.
The blade edge on Global knives is ground to an acute angle, resulting in a notably sharp edge that lasts. The handles feature a signature dimpled pattern for a secure, slip-resistant grip. Favored by both professional chefs and home cooks, these lightweight knives are designed for balance and precision in a variety of kitchen tasks.

Global Classic 7-inch Hollow Ground Vegetable Knife
Sliced potatoes, cucumbers and apples tend to stick to the side of a flat blade, and peeling them off slows the work. The G-81 answers that with a row of hollow-ground flutes cut into each face just above the edge. The flutes break the contact between food and steel, so slices fall away as you cut instead of riding up the blade.Otherwise it is Global’s 7-inch vegetable knife, a tall, square-tipped blade whose edge runs nearly flat before curving slightly toward the front. It chops in a straight push, rocks a little through herbs, and carries a board’s worth of vegetables to the pan on its broad face. It handles boneless meat and fish as well, though vegetable prep is where the shape shows its advantages.
With or Without Flutes?If most of what you cut is starchy or wet, choose the G-81. For onions, herbs and greens, the flutes matter less, and the plain Global Classic 7-inch Vegetable Knife does the same work. Cooks who want a pointed tip with the same food release should compare the Global Classic 7-inch Hollow Ground Santoku. Read more about vegetable knife shapes in our guide to kitchen knife shapes.
