The Global Vegetable knife with the hollow ground blade is still great for chopping tasks, but the indentations in the blade help reduce sticking while cutting. Announcing the Usuba, Japanese Vegetable Knife. These ultimate East/West fusion knives, the Usuba are the ideal compliment to a western style chef’s knife. Part cleaver, part cooks knife, the unique blade shape encourages the cook to perform a slicing motion. The thin and razor sharp Global blade allows the cook to cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of the ingredient and maximizing its flavor. The hollows or dimples on the edge of the blade create air pockets between the blade and food, reducing surface tension even further. Fruits and vegetables are sliced effortlessly and with perfect precision!

Global Knives revolutionized the design of fine cutlery with the stainless steel handle and blade. The three piece construction, blade and two handle halves, are welded or forged (depending on the model), for a seamless, hygienic, and uniquely balanced instrument. Global Knives are made from the finest stainless steel material. The blades utilize Molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56º–58º which holds a razor sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion. Like the Samurai swords before them, each knife is carefully weighted to ensure perfect balance in the hand. To obtain its super sharp edge, Global sharpens the face of the edge straight to a point rather than just beveling the tip as competing brands do.
