The chefs knife allows you to mince, dice and chop without your knuckles hitting the cutting board. Choose the length that feels most comfortable in your hand, the longer lengths make fast work of larger cutting jobs. Global knives are made from the finest stainless steel material. The blades utilize molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell c56-58 degrees which holds a razor sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion.
