- Global Classic G-4 Oriental Cook's Knife
- Cromova18 Stainless Steel
- Rockwell C56-58
- Acute 15 Degree Cutting Edge
- Handwash Only
- Designed by Komin Yamada
- Made in Japan
As a chef's knife the G-4 is suitable for most kitchen tasks, slicing, dicing and chopping. There is very little difference in performance between the G-4 and the classic chef knife, the G-2. The difference is cosmetic, i.e. the kink in the blade. This gives the knife an 'oriental' styling, but it bears no meaning to the function of the knife. It is not designed specifically for oriental food, or oriental ways of using a knife, it is just a different shape of cook's knife. It does have a nice upward curve to the blade, which when cutting with the knife allows it to rock up and down on the chopping board, a bit like a mezzaluna.
The shape has been so popular that the second new series of Global knives, the Global NI series, has been based on this knife design. The G-4 also comes in a fluted version as the G-66 and in a smaller size as the GS-58.

Razor Sharp Edge
The key feature of any knife is its edge, and the GLOBAL knife's signature edge is exceptional. Unlike Western knives with beveled edges, GLOBAL knives have steeply ground straight edges, resulting in superior sharpness and longevity. The prominent edge, visible to the naked eye, extends a quarter inch or more from the tip.
-
Cromova 18 Stainless Steel
CROMOVA 18 is a steel, with a special mixture of molybdenum, vanadium and chromium. The exact combination is our trade secret, but the steel is made to be hard enough so that the knives retain their sharpness, yet soft enough to sharpen with a whetstone. The high chromium content gives the knives excellent resistance to rust and staining.
