How to Care for Your Global Knives
Knives are the kitchen’s shiny workhorses that will see you through your chopping, slicing, and cutting days. As sharp and durable your Global knives are, they will require maintenance to ensure they remain as sharp as the day you bought them.
To avoid this from happening, all you need to do is to care and maintain your knives regularly. It may sound tedious and cumbersome to follow but rest assured that sharpening your Global knife is far simpler than you thought it would be.
How do I keep my Global knives sharp?
The Global Minosharp 2 Ceramic Water Sharpener is your answer! This sturdy device utilizes two powerful ceramic wheels; one coarse wheel and a finer wheel to restore your knife’s edge and back to its full working order. Both wheels are designed to keep your knife at a correct angle while sharpening.
How to use the Global 2-Stage Sharpener
First, fill the wheel compartment with water to keep the wheels clean and prevent overheating while the knives are being sharpened.
At a 90-degree angle, gently place the knife on the coarse white wheel first and draw the knife six to eight times depending on your knife. Repeat the same process on the medium grit pink wheel. Your knife is ready to take on all sorts of slicing, cutting, dicing, chopping and more.
Keep Your Knives Dry
Some knives, without the proper care, will even start to rust or corrode. Note that any stainless-steel product is more resistant to corrosion compared to regular alloy or carbon steels. They are ‘stain-less’. Hence, cleaning and drying the knife is important to prevent your knives from potential damage.
It is best to wash with warm soapy water. Rinse off with warm water and dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel. Avoid placing your Global knives in the dishwasher as it may damage the blade's sharp edge.
Additional tip: Use a good quality cutting board to protect the blade.
