The Global Vegetable Knife, a Japanese-style square-tip blade, is perfect for high-volume chopping, slicing, and dicing—especially for meats and dense root vegetables. Popular as an alternative to the Santoku, this knife features a straight-edged blade designed for clean, precise cuts through thick ingredients. Forged from a single piece of Global’s proprietary CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, it is ice-tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56–58 for excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blade’s convex edge delivers razor-sharp performance, while the sand-filled hollow handle provides perfect balance for controlled, fatigue-free use. Global’s iconic dimpled stainless steel handle offers a comfortable, slip-resistant grip and is hygienic and easy to clean. Designed with both power and precision in mind, the Nakiri knife is an indispensable tool for serious prep work in any kitchen.
