Concise Global G-9-8 1/2 Bread Knife

Lightweight, precisely balanced 8-3/4-inch bread knife from Global, a Japanese knife brand that has created a sensation in the culinary world as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. The blade is made of high-tech molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, and the edge retains its razor sharpness exceptionally well.

Global knives are known for their innovative design and high-quality craftsmanship. The stainless-steel handle is molded for comfort and dimpled for a safe grip, providing a secure and ergonomic hold during repetitive slicing tasks. The balance of the knife is achieved through the injection of a precise amount of sand into the hollow handle, which flows as the blade is maneuvered, ensuring continuous balance.

This 8-3/4-inch bread knife features a scalloped edge, which makes it ideal for slicing through crusty loaves of bread with ease. The high-tech design from tip to handle sets Global knives apart from traditional European-style cutlery. The blades are "face-ground" with a long taper, rather than a short bevel, allowing the edges to remain sharp for longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives.

Global also dispensed with bolsters on its original knives to reduce weight, making them lighter than traditional European-style knives. The balance is achieved through the innovative sand-filled hollow handle, which ensures the knife feels well-balanced and comfortable in the hand.

Stainless-steel handles are a distinguishing feature of Global knives. They are molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping, providing a secure and comfortable grip. The handles are also smaller in diameter than many European-style handles, making them easier for small-handed cooks to grasp.

Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen sharpener, for maintaining the razor-sharp edges of their knives. They also offer a Sharpening Guide Rail to help users hone the blades at the proper angle on a whetstone.

Global knives should be hand-washed to protect their edges, and they come with a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. This 8-3/4-inch bread knife is a testament to Global's commitment to innovation and high-quality craftsmanship, making it a valuable addition to any kitchen.
