The Global 7-in Hollow Ground Vegetable Knife has a large, thick blade making it ideal for chopping large amounts of vegetables, and a hollow ground edge that prevents food from sticking to the blade. It is light, well balanced, razor sharp, and easy to use. Global knives are constructed of CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, which holds a razor sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion.
