A Japanese-style square-tip knife that is great for chopping meat, root vegetables and big prep jobs. Popular alternative to the Santos. The Gs series is a classic Collection of small to medium-sized knives for general and special preparation. desertcart.com High tech from tip to handle, Global knives from Japan created a sensation when they burst onto the world's culinary stage as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Blades are made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and "face-ground" with a long taper rather than a short bevel so edges remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. Edges also are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrive from the factory razor-sharp. Although Global also makes a "heavyweight" line for cooks who prefer hefty knives, its original knives--of which this 5-1/2-inch knife for precisely slicing and chopping vegetables is an example--have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. Global also dispensed with bolsters on its original knives to reduce weight. Balance is achieved by injecting a precise amount of sand for a particular blade style into a hollow handle. To ensure balance is continuous, the sand flows inside the handle as a blade is maneuvered. A finger notch between blade and handle provides safety. Stainless-steel handles are Global's most striking feature. They're molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. Smaller around than many European-style handles, they're easy for small-handed cooks to grasp and seamless for sanitation. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steel for its knives, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen sharpener. Global also makes a Sharpening Guide Rail so blades can be honed on a whetstone at the proper angle. Global knives should be hand washed to protect edges. They carry a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. --Fred Brack Review: Great quality and price. - Great balance and feel. Extremely sharp. Nice addition to my Global knife collection. Review: One of the few stainless alloy knives I would recommend. - I happen to like a wider bladed knife like this one, as they track well through large hard vegetables as compared with a skinnier bladed knife. The stainless steel alloy used in Global knives is far superior to most stainless alloys, which are notoriously difficult to put a really good edge on. This knife sharpens nicely and relatively easily, and holds an edge well, though not as well as Japanese high carbon steels such as Blue and White (referring to the color paper the steel bolts come wrapped in). Those steel alloys are easier to sharpen and hold their edge longer, but have the disadvantage of developing rust if not thoroughly dried and lightly oiled after each use, which makes them impractical for most American kitchens where homemakers just want to throw everything in the dish washer. But for a stainless knife, this is very close to good Japanese alloys, and has won numerous awards for design and sharpness. ## Features - Lightweight, precisely balanced 5-1/2-inch Knife for slicing, Chopping vegetables - Blade made of high-tech molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00005OL3V | | Best Sellers Rank | #118,356 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #384 in Chef's Knives | | Blade Color | Stainless Steel | | Blade Edge | Straight Edged | | Blade Material Type | Stainless Steel | | BladeLength | 5.5 Inches | | Brand Name | Global | | Color | Stainless Steel | | Construction Type | Stamped | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (513) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04943691705488 | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Included Components | 1 Knife | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Length | 11.6 Inches | | Item Type Name | 5.5" Vegetable Knife | | Item Weight | 0.44 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Scanpan / Global | | Manufacturer Part Number | GS-5 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Guarantee | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | GS-5 | | Size | 5.5" | | UPC | 718472626276 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Edge:** Straight Edged - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Global - **Color:** Stainless Steel - **Handle Material:** Stainless Steel ## Images ![Knives 5.5" Vegetable Knife - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LJ1DyvXDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality and price. *by A***R on June 22, 2025* Great balance and feel.
