Global Knives: The Epitome of Sharpness and Balance

Global knives are renowned for their innovative features, particularly their edge and balance. The edge is the most critical detail of any knife, and Global knives boast a truly signature edge. Sharpened to a steep angle, these knives resist rust, stains, and corrosion, resulting in a dramatically sharper blade that stays sharper longer. The straight edge is prominent and easily visible to the naked eye, extending a quarter of an inch or more up from the tip of the knife.

History and Craftsmanship

From its humble beginnings, Global has evolved into one of the most successful brands of professional kitchen knives worldwide. Still crafted by hand in Yoshikin’s factory in Niigata, Japan, Global knives are manufactured to extremely high and exacting standards. With a legacy spanning over a thousand years, Japanese sword-smiths developed the art of sword making to provide strong, sharp blades for the Samurai. Similarly, each Global knife is carefully weighted to ensure perfect balance in the hand.
