Sharpening Facts: GLOBAL knives come out of the factory with a very sharp edge and the special blade ensures that this sharpness will be maintained longer than in the case of many other knives. However they should be periodically sharpened using either a sharpening steel (ceramic sharpening rod or diamond steel is recommended) or wetstone to keep them in perfect condition.
