Inferior brands lol! Worst troll ever.
Both Global and Wüsthof use the same blade alloy mixture.
WÜSTHOF - knives are all made of a special steel alloy.
X50 Cr MoV 15 - a special alloy for superb knives.
X : Stainless steel
50 : 0,5 % carbon- the carbon content is significant for the sharpness
Cr : Chromium for stain-resistant properties
Mo : Molybdenum enhances the stain-resistant properties
V : Vanadium for hardness and edge retention
15 : Contents of chromiumin % (15%)
Oh and FYI. Taken from Yoshkin's own site.
It is recommended that you wash your Global knives by hand using a mild dishwashing liquid and water. After washing, rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a towel. Global knives should NOT be put in the dishwasher. Doing so could damage the sharp edges should they come into contact with other objects in the dishwasher. In addition, exposure to extreme heat and powerful detergents found in dishwashers can be harmful to CROMOVA 18 high carbon stainless steel.
