📋 Description

The GLOBAL G-03 is a 21 cm slicing knife designed by master Komin Yamada and produced in Japan: monobloc construction in CROMOVA 18 steel, 15° sharpening per side and hardness 56–58 HRC. It is the reference tool for slicing roasts, cooked meats and large cuts with millimetric precision, chosen by Michelin-starred chefs worldwide.

CROMOVA 18 steel blade: superior hardness and edge retention

The blade is forged in CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, GLOBAL's proprietary alloy based on chromium, molybdenum and vanadium. It reaches a hardness of 56–58 HRC — significantly higher than the average of European professional stainless steel knives — guaranteeing high corrosion resistance and long-term edge retention. The edge sharpened at 15° on both sides produces clean cuts that preserve the structure of meat fibres.

Monobloc construction: hygiene without compromise

Blade and handle form a single piece of stainless steel, without welds or joints. This monobloc construction eliminates any accumulation zone for bacteria and organic residue — a fundamental requirement in a professional kitchen compliant with HACCP standards. The handle surface is worked with small anti-slip dimples that ensure a firm grip even with wet or oily hands.

Perfect balance thanks to sand-filled handle

The characteristic hollow handle of the GLOBAL G-03 is filled with sand to precisely balance the weight between blade and grip. The result is a knife that does not strain the wrist during prolonged work sessions, ideal for both professional kitchen service and high-level domestic use.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between GLOBAL's CROMOVA 18 steel and traditional European stainless steel?

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary GLOBAL alloy that combines chromium, molybdenum and vanadium, reaching a hardness of 56–58 HRC. Compared to many European stainless steels for knives (typically 52–56 HRC), it offers superior edge retention and greater corrosion resistance, with 15° sharpening per side versus the conventional 20–25°.

Is the GLOBAL G-03 suitable for professional use in a foodservice kitchen?

Yes. The jointless monobloc construction eliminates bacterial accumulation zones, making it compatible with HACCP protocols. The anti-slip dimpled handle ensures secure grip even in humid conditions, and is chosen by professional chefs in Michelin-starred restaurants worldwide.

What preparations is the GLOBAL G-03 21 cm slicing knife suitable for?

The G-03 is specifically designed for slicing roasts, cooked meats, poultry and large cuts. The 21 cm blade with 15° edge allows thin and uniform slices in a single pass, preserving the structure of meat fibres.

How do you wash and maintain the GLOBAL G-03 knife?

GLOBAL recommends hand washing with neutral detergent and immediate drying. The dishwasher, while not immediately damaging CROMOVA 18 steel, can accelerate surface cloudiness and reduce edge retention over time due to aggressive detergents and high temperatures.

Why is the GLOBAL G-03 handle filled with sand?

The hollow stainless steel handle is filled with sand to counterbalance the weight of the 21 cm blade, ensuring neutral balance between blade and grip. This reduces wrist fatigue during prolonged use and improves cutting control.
