Introduzione

The Global G-2 8-inch Chef's Knife is a versatile kitchen tool designed for mincing, cutting, chopping, and slicing. Manufactured in Japan, this knife features a blade crafted from high-tech molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, known for its ability to retain a sharp edge. The blade is face-ground with a long taper, contributing to its lasting sharpness. The stainless-steel handle is molded for comfort and dimpled to provide a secure, slip-resistant grip. Its lightweight design and balanced construction, achieved by injecting sand into the hollow handle, enhance maneuverability. A finger notch between the blade and handle is incorporated for user safety.

Before first use, hand wash the knife with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. This removes any manufacturing residues and prepares the knife for use.

Istruzioni per l'uso

Uso generale

The Global G-2 Chef's Knife is designed for a variety of kitchen tasks. Use it for:

• Tritare: Finely chop herbs, garlic, or ginger.
• Taglio: Prepare vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery.
• Affettare: Cut meats, poultry, and larger vegetables with precision.

Always use a stable cutting surface, such as a wooden or soft plastic cutting board, to protect the blade's edge.

Presa corretta

Hold the knife with a firm but relaxed grip. The dimpled handle is designed to prevent slipping. For optimal control, grip the handle with your dominant hand, placing your thumb on one side of the blade and your index finger on the opposite side, just above the handle.

Cura e manutenzione

Pulizia

Solo lavaggio a mano: Global knives should be hand washed immediately after each use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and protect the edge. Non lavare in lavastoviglie, as harsh detergents and high temperatures can damage the blade and handle.

Affilatura

To maintain the razor sharpness of your Global knife, use a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel. These are recommended over traditional metal sharpening steels. For more intensive sharpening, a synthetic whetstone, ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen sharpener can be used. Global also offers a Sharpening Guide Rail to assist in honing blades at the proper angle.

Magazzinaggio

Always store Global knives in a safe, dry environment. It is recommended to store them in a dedicated knife block or on a magnetic knife rack to protect the blade and prevent accidental injury.

Risoluzione dei problemi

Dull Edge

If the knife's edge becomes dull, refer to the "Sharpening" section under Care and Maintenance. Regular honing and occasional sharpening will restore its cutting performance.

Macchie di ruggine

Although made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals can lead to rust spots. Ensure the knife is thoroughly dried after washing and stored in a dry place. Minor rust spots can often be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner designed for stainless steel.
