Global GF-100 Stainless Steel Nakiri Knife for Vegetables - 18 cm

Global GF-100: The Traditional Nakiri Knife Ideal for Vegetable Preparation

The Global GF-100 Nakiri knife is a traditional Japanese-style tool designed for working with vegetables, herbs, and greens. Intended for professional use but perfectly suitable for home kitchens, it features a tall, trapezoidal, and sharp-edged blade that allows for fast, precise chopping, mincing, slicing, and cutting. Also suitable for working with meat.

With a blade length of 18 cm and an overall length of 32.5 cm, it offers an excellent balance between maneuverability and power—ideal for repetitive tasks or handling larger ingredients. The wide blade also allows for easy collection and transfer of chopped items.

The GF-100 is forged from special Cromova 18 stainless steel—a molybdenum-vanadium alloy with a Rockwell hardness of 56–58 HRC—ensuring high corrosion resistance, long-lasting sharpness, and consistent performance even after intensive use. The final handcrafted sharpening guarantees a clean, long-lasting edge.

The ergonomic stainless steel handle, hollow and filled with sand, offers perfect balance and a comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during extended use. The seamless monobloc construction between blade and handle ensures maximum hygiene and easy cleaning by preventing residue buildup.

As with all knives in the GF series, the GF-100 features a larger handle and a thicker spine than the G series. Its heavier weight improves blade penetration and cutting stability, making it a favorite among chefs and professional users.

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.
