This stunning knife is a collector's version of Global's classic G2 knife. A diamond-like coating not only cloaks the knife in gorgeous black, it also increases surface hardness, enhances durability and reduces friction to make cutting and slicing effortless. Crafted in Japan using a manufacturing method used to craft samurai swords, the chef knife's modern design features one-piece, stainless-steel construction and a striking dimple pattern on the handle. The Cromova 18 stainless steel blade is ice-tempered, hardened and sharpened by both ceramic water sharpener and whetstone. The slip-resistant, ergonomic hollow handle is filled with sand for ideal weight and balance.
