Global Classic Knives — Frequently Asked Questions (New Zealand)
Why do chefs and home cooks choose Global Classic knives?
Global Classic knives are chosen for their exceptional balance, lightweight feel and consistently sharp edge. The single-piece stainless-steel construction and thin blade geometry make chopping, slicing and precision tasks faster and more comfortable—qualities both professionals and home cooks in New Zealand value.
What type of steel is used in Global Classic knives?
Global Classic knives are crafted from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, a high-quality Japanese alloy designed for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance and ease of re-sharpening—ideal for daily kitchen use in New Zealand's varied cooking styles.
Are Global Classic knives easy to sharpen and maintain?
Yes. With regular honing and occasional whetstone sharpening, Global blades hold a keen edge. Hand-sharpening with a fine whetstone or using Global's recommended sharpening tools will keep the knife performing like new for many years.
Can beginners use Global Classic knives safely?
Absolutely. Global's balanced, lightweight design makes fine control easier for beginners. Still, safe knife handling—such as proper grip, a stable cutting board and mindful cutting technique—is important for all users.
Should I wash Global Classic knives in the dishwasher?
No. To preserve the blade and handle finish, wash Global knives by hand with warm soapy water and dry immediately. Dishwashing can blunt the edge, cause spotting and risk bumping against other items.
How long can I expect a Global Classic knife to last?
With correct care—regular honing, gentle handwashing and safe storage—a Global Classic knife can last decades. The robust CROMOVA 18 steel resists corrosion and, with periodic sharpening, will continue to perform for many years in a busy New Zealand kitchen.
What is special about the Global handle design?
Global’s dimpled stainless-steel handles are hollow and perfectly balanced with the blade. The dimples provide a secure, slip-resistant grip even when wet, and the seamless steel construction avoids food and water traps common in bolted handles.
Do Global Classic knives come with warranty and local support in New Zealand?
Yes. Global knives include manufacturer backing and many retailers in New Zealand provide support and warranty information. Additionally, consumer protections under New Zealand law (such as the Consumer Guarantees Act) apply—check your product listing for specific warranty terms.
