Global G-78 Hollow-Edge Cook’s Knife 18 cm

Description

Working with sticky ingredients such as soft cheeses, potatoes or fatty meats is easier with the Global G-78. This 18 cm hollow-edge cook’s knife combines the traditional versatility of a chef’s knife with etched dimples that help reduce food sticking. When you cut moist or greasy ingredients, the dimples make them release more easily from the blade.

Forged in Cromova 18 steel with 56-58 HRC hardness, it holds an outstanding edge while the dimples reduce friction without compromising structural strength. Each cavity is calibrated to create the non-stick effect without weakening the blade. Its balanced 145 g weight, set with weighted sand, makes both the Japanese push cut and the Western rocking motion easy. A beech wood board 60×40 cm is a perfect companion for this versatile cook’s knife.

Why choose the hollow-edge Global G-78 cook’s knife?

Professional cooks value how the dimples help with troublesome ingredients. First, fresh cheese tends to release more easily. Then, cut potatoes separate better from the blade. Likewise, fatty fish such as salmon or tuna stick less during cutting.

The 18 cm is the classic cook’s knife length, compact enough for detailed work and wide enough for general preparations. The one-piece build also makes immediate cleaning easy. Keep the edge performing with Global sharpening stones made for Cromova 18 steel.
