Global Vegetable Knife 18cm G-5

The G-5 18cm Vegetable Knife is inspired by traditional Japanese Usuba knives, popular amongst professional chefs in Japan as a specialist vegetable knife. The idea behind the shape of the blade is that it encourages a straight up down chopping motion where the full blade length meets the chopping board so it will go straight through the whole vegetable. 

The G-5 is made from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, specially developed by GLOBAL as it holds a razor-sharp edge and resists rust, stains and corrosion. Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58, each knife is carefully weighted by filling the handles with sand to achieve the optimum weight and perfect balance. The acute 15-degree angle cutting edge provides unsurpassed performance and superior edge retention.

There are quite a few variations of this knife within the GLOBAL Classic collection. The equally popular Global GS-5 is the small 14cm version, and the G-81 is the fluted version in the same size.
