Ceramic Sharpening Steel G45

The perfect accessory to add to your Global knife collection, this 24cm inch ceramic sharpener matches your set's unique style and keeps it in optimum slicing condition. Global knives are made from the finest Cromova 18 stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58 degrees which holds a razor sharp edge longer and resists rust, stains and corrosion. To ensure a long lasting cutting edge, the blade of a Global knife contains a high level of carbon. It is necessary therefore to wash and dry immediately after use to avoid damage. The first Global knives were designed in 1985 by Komin Yamada, whose remit was to develop a range of knives which was truly new and revolutionary, harnessing the best materials available and the most modern design concepts. Today, the Global factory continues to develop the most tehcnically advanced performance chef's knives in the world.
