Razor Sharp EdgeThe most important feature of any knife is its edge, and the GLOBAL edge is truly its signature. The majority of the GLOBAL knives are sharpened or ground on both sides of the blade, just like Western style knives. However, their edges are ground steeply to a point as illustrated in Fig. 1, and to an acute angle. This is in contrast to Western or European knives that use a beveled edge, Fig. 2. The straight edge results in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer. The edge on a GLOBAL knife is so large and prominent that it is easily seen with the naked eye and extends a quarter of an inch or more up from the tip of the knife. |
Cromova 18 Stainless SteelCROMOVA 18 is a steel, with a special mixture of molybdenum, vanadium and chromium. The exact combination is our trade secret, but the steel is made to be hard enough so that the knives retain their sharpness, yet soft enough to sharpen with a whetstone. The high chromium content gives the knives excellent resistance to rust and staining. |
Functional Design Steeped In TraditionFrom its modest inception, GLOBAL has developed into one of the most successful brands of professional kitchen knives in the world. Still crafted by hand in Yoshikin’s factory in Niigata, Japan, GLOBAL knives are manufactured to extremely high and exacting standards. GLOBAL has attracted much acclaim over the years and received numerous awards. |
Used By Home and Professional ChefsUsed by home and professional , Global knives are lightweight, yet razor sharp that help reduce hand fatigue. Global knives retain their edge longer than any other major brand on the market |

Product Description
Product Description

You can comfortably use the steel handle to hone knife edges and feel safe because this rod has a finger guard. Use the knives sharpened by this honing rod to make slicing heavy dishes such as fruit tarts or slicing potatoes for French fries. This ceramic rod is sure to last a long time and can easily be maintained with just a hand wash and drying.

Although steels often are touted as sharpening tools, few actually sharpen knife blades, but they do perform the vital task of realigning, or resetting, edges, which bend when contacting a cutting surface or other hard object. Because this tool's chrome/vanadium stainless-steel rod contains hundreds of thousands of diamond particles, it's hard enough to somewhat sharpen a blade. Using this steel won't replace a professional sharpening job, which proceeds from coarse grinding to ever-finer grinding at tightly controlled angles. However, it will lengthen intervals between sharpenings better than a steel without diamonds because it accomplishes the final task of a professional sharpening, which is polishing the edge to a fine point.
Exceptionally well made, this tool's rod has a solid core and has been plated with hard chrome for additional resistance to abrasion and to extend its life. Because the rod is a 3/4-inch-wide oval, it exposes more surface and works quicker than a cylindrical rod. Like Global's signature knife handles, the steel's handle is molded for comfort and dimpled for a safe grip. The rule is that a steel should be at least as long as the knife blade being drawn across it, and this steel's 10-inch rod is long enough for most household knives. --Fred Brack

However, If you're passionate about sharp cutlery and ninja-like efficiency, this product may not please you. After two years of periodic use, I have a few complaints:
1) I might have preferred a slightly finer grit abrasive, or several sharpening steels of different grits.
2) The tool is neither magnetic, nor does it have a hole suitable for hanging.
3) When my knife begins to dull slightly, I hesitate to use this sharpening steel.
My hesitation before using this sharpening steel is that the coarse grit will scratch and serrate the blade edge. Thus ultimately creating more work when I get out my water stones. Obviously, I prefer my knives terrifyingly-sharp. If you're comfortable using more force when you cut, or using a sawing motion, then this steel will be all you ever need in life to be happy.
I wish I could keep this tool on my magnetic cutlery retainer, along with my knives and spatulas, but it is weakly magnetic. There is no lanyard hole, either, so simple hooks and nails are not an option.
If I had it to do all over again, I would still buy this sharpening steel. If you're in the middle of food preparation and you accidentally drop your knife or roll the edge over, then this sharpening steel is a life saver. But I can imagine some customers regretting this purchase. This is a good tool. For all I know, it might even be the best in the world of its kind. In my opinion, though, it is only a 3-star or 4-star product. Hopefully, future generations will improve upon it.
