Global chef knives feature distinctive dimpled stainless steel handles and lightweight construction. Made in Japan since 1985, they use Cromova 18 steel hardened to 56-58 HRC. The seamless design eliminates bacterial traps common in traditional knives. Blade edges are sharpened to 15 degrees for precision cutting. Standard models weigh 30% less than German equivalents. Popular sizes include 16cm, 20cm, and 25cm chef's knives. Prices range from £90-160 per knife. The signature handle provides excellent grip but requires adjustment for traditional knife users.
