  • Made of hollow handles which are then filled with sand to achieve the desired weight and deliver the perfect balance.
  • Perfectly balanced knives provide optimal control.
  • The blade is made of the finest stainless steel called CROMOVA 18 (Chromium, Molybdenum and Vanadium), designed exclusively for GLOBAL.

    Très bon couteau mais il n'est pas pour moi.

    Couteau de qualité, belle fabrication, beau tranchant.

    Il ne me convient pas personnellement pour deux raisons:

    1. L'arrière de la lame fait un léger crochet vers l'arrière, je me suis blessé deux fois car j'ai trop l'habitude de couteaux qui n'ont pas ce "talon". Je n'en comprends d'ailleurs pas trop la fonction.

    2. L'écart vertical entre le bas de la poignée d'une part, et le fil de la lame d'autre part, n'est pas assez grand pour moi, du coup je n'arrive pas à manipuler le couteau de façon confortable quand je hache des légumes ou des fines herbes.

    J'ai découvert en comparant ce (très bon) couteau avec d'autres, qu'un couteau de type Santoku est ce qui me convient le mieux.

    Nicely made. Came razor sharp. Cuts onions effortlessly. I'm really careful to wash it and dry it right away so no problems with rust or stains so far.
