Compact 8 Japanese Chef's Knife

The Global Model X 8" Chef's Knife, a multipurpose workhorse of the kitchen, boasts innovative features that make it a standout among Japanese chef's knives. Crafted in Japan, this knife improves upon the original Global G-2 Chef's Knife, one of the best-selling Japanese chef's knives ever made.

One of the most important features of any knife is its edge, and the Global edge is truly its signature. The majority of Global knives are sharpened or ground on both sides of the blade, just like Western-style knives. The two most innovative features of Global knives are their edge and the way they are balanced.

The wider blade of the Global Model X 8" Chef's Knife is made of the finest stainless steel called Cromova 18 (Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium), designed exclusively for Global. This steel is designed to deliver the perfect balance and optimal control for the user.

The hollow handle of the knife is filled with sand to achieve the desired weight and deliver the perfect balance. The knife is ice-tempered and hardened to Rockwell 56-58 degrees, which allows it to hold the razor-sharp edge of the blade longer than any other steel.

The improved ergonomic, stainless steel hygienic handle with a signature dimple pattern offers a comfortable, slip-resistant grip. The pinch grip design provides unbelievable control, making it ideal for precise chopping.

With a 2-inch blade height, 4mm spine thickness, and 8-inch blade length, the Global Model X 8" Chef's Knife measures 13.25 inches overall and weighs 9.2 ounces (262g). It comes with a lifetime warranty, ensuring the user's satisfaction and peace of mind.

In conclusion, the Global Model X 8" Chef's Knife is a remarkable kitchen tool that combines cutting-edge design, exceptional craftsmanship, and unparalleled performance. Its innovative features and superior quality make it a must-have for any discerning chef or home cook who demands the best.
