Global G-49B "Chop & Slice": The Traditional Chinese Cleaver for Chopping Vegetables
The Global G-49B "Chop & Slice" is a traditional Chinese cleaver designed for precise chopping, mincing, and slicing of herbs, vegetables, and greens. Its wide 17.5 cm blade, combined with a weight of 400 g, makes it ideal for heavy-duty prep and quick, continuous cuts. The generous blade surface also allows you to collect and transfer chopped ingredients directly into the pan or pot.
The broad, rectangular profile ensures stable and powerful cuts with excellent motion control, while the well-balanced weight supports efficient cutting even on fibrous or large-leaf vegetables.
Crafted from special Cromova 18 stainless steel—a molybdenum-vanadium alloy with a Rockwell hardness of 56-58 HRC—the Global G-49B offers long-lasting edge retention and excellent corrosion resistance. Its handcrafted sharpening ensures clean, consistent cuts over time.
The ergonomic stainless steel handle, hollow and balanced with sand, provides a secure and comfortable grip even during extended use. The seamless one-piece construction between blade and handle makes cleaning easier and guarantees the highest hygiene standards.

Useful Tips:
To best preserve the quality of the knife, even though it is made of stainless steel, hand washing with warm water and neutral soap is recommended, followed by immediate drying with a soft cloth. The use of a dishwasher is not advised to prevent potential damage caused by the oxidizing salts in aggressive detergents. For optimal maintenance, prolonged contact with acidic substances should be avoided, as they may cause slight surface oxidation.
