Global Z 7" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife

Global Z is a groundbreaking knife. It's the first kitchen knife made entirely of stainless steel with a DLC coating. Global Z features the same steel and sleek design as the classic Global knives. What sets it apart is the distinctive black surface. DLC, or Diamond-Like Carbon, is a treatment that protects the knife with a hard, diamondlike outer layer. The technology is used in the aerospace and motorsport industries. It makes the steel surface harder, more durable, resistant to acids, and therefore more corrosion-resistant.

Another benefit of the DLC coating is that the blade becomes smoother, allowing for friction-free cutting with clean, straight slices. The coating is biocompatible. This hollow edge santoku knife from Global Z is an evolution of Global's Classic G-80 santoku knife. The difference is that Global Z features a DLC surface treatment, giving the knife a black coating that not only looks stunning but also delivers exceptional performance. Each Global Z knife is individually numbered, and due to the complex and extensive manufacturing process, only a limited number of these exclusive knives are produced each year.
