Chroma Chef knife 16 cm, forged

The Global GF32 chef's knife features a blade length of 16 cm, making it ideal for precise vegetable cutting and herb chopping. This Japanese knife is made from patented Cromova 18 steel with a hardness of 56-58 Rockwell, providing excellent cutting performance while being nearly rust-free. As part of the Global GF (Forged) series, this robust knife is forged from a single piece of steel, allowing for a hygienic construction without seams or joints where bacteria could accumulate. The blade is sharpened to a precise angle of 15-17 degrees per side, offering finer cutting performance with reduced resistance compared to European knives, which typically have a sharpening angle of 20-22 degrees. The handle features non-slip indentations for a secure grip and is filled with sand to optimize weight distribution and balance. With its silver surface and steel construction, this chef's knife represents Japanese precision engineering adapted to European cutting habits, providing substantial weight and durability for both professional and home kitchens. The one-piece forged construction ensures long-term reliability and easy maintenance, while the moderate blade length allows for excellent control in detailed cutting tasks without compromising cutting power.
