## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these knives dishwasher safe?**
A: According to Global website, they say "Please do not put GLOBAL knives in a dishwasher. The harsh environment during the wash cycle will harm the knife and in turn, cause corrosion."

**Q: What is the difference between the various Global Santoku knife models?**
A: Mostly length and curvature of the blade. They’re all great knives though — own 5 and have every intention of continuing to buy these when those wear out. Incredibly sharp. My father-in-law, who is a surgeon, swears these are sharp enough for surgery.

**Q: Is this 11" or 14" long? confused by description. i need the shorter one so g48 or g80? thanks y'all!**
A: The blade is 7 inches, the overall knife including the handle is 14 inches. G48 seems to have same dimensions.

**Q: Is this a good knife for lefties**
A: Hi Kendall!
 
Thank you for your interest in the GLOBAL 7” Hollow Ground Santoku knife.
 
Your hand orientation would not matter in using this knife, so it would work well for left-handed individuals.
 
Thanks for your inquiry,
