Key Features:
- Premium Cromova18 Stainless Steel: The GS5 boasts a blade meticulously crafted from Cromova18 stainless steel, a hallmark of Global knives. This high-quality stainless steel is celebrated for its exceptional sharpness, impressive durability, and resistance to rust, stains, and corrosion. It ensures your knife maintains a razor-sharp edge and pristine appearance over time.
- Rockwell C56-58 Hardness: The blade of the GS5 is ice tempered and hardened to a Rockwell hardness of C56-58. This process enhances the knife's strength and edge retention, allowing it to maintain its cutting prowess even with extended use.
- Acute 15 Degree Cutting Edge: Featuring an acute 15-degree cutting edge, the GS5 offers precise and effortless slicing and chopping. This cutting angle is well-suited for vegetables, allowing you to make clean and precise cuts with ease.
- Handwash Only: To preserve the longevity and performance of your GS5, it is recommended to handwash the knife after each use. This will help maintain its sharpness and overall quality over time, while avoiding exposure to harsh dishwasher conditions.

The History of Global
The first GLOBAL knives were designed in 1985 by Komin Yamada whose task was to develop a range of knives which was truly new and revolutionary, harnessing the best materials available and the most modern design concepts. Global knives appeal to the professional and amateur chief alike, are comfortable and easy to handle, and meet the most demanding requirements.
The Finest Materials
GLOBAL knives are made from the finest stainless steel material. The blades utilize CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56°-58°, which holds a razor sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion. Like the Samurai swords before them, each knife is carefully weighted to ensure perfect balance in the hand.
