Why are GLOBAL knives the trusted partners of chefs and home cooks alike?

Razor-Sharp Blades

Hand finished from ultra hard Cromova 18 high carbon stainless-steel, these blades hold a cutting edge for a long time whilst being easy to resharpen. GLOBAL knives are ice tempered and hardened which gives the steel a special resistance against rust and corrosion.

Ergonomic Handles

To create the perfect balance, GLOBAL knives are crafted with hollow handles filled with just the right amount of sand to counter the weight of the blade. This is more precise than the full tang and bolster method and the seamless construction eliminates food and dirt traps.

15-Degree Cutting Edge

GLOBAL knives are expertly designed with uniquely convex 15-degree cutting edges which wear more slowly. This is in contrast to most Western knives that use a bevelled edge. The straight edge results in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper for longer.

Iconic Design

GLOBAL Knives are hand crafted in Japan using the same traditions for over 40 years. The launch of the iconic, all stainless-steel, one-piece structure kitchen knife was an unprecedented new concept and created a new genre in the professional knife industry, known as 'all stainless steel'.

Which GLOBAL Classic Collection should you choose?

G SERIES: GLOBAL's Classic collection of longer, larger bladed knives with weighted hollow handles. The collection includes knives for any and every purpose and many of these knives have multiple size options and fluted varieties available.

GF SERIES: GLOBAL's collection of drop forged knives. The handle sits on the tang of the blade creating a knife which is heavier and more durable than its G and GS counterparts. This strength and durability makes the GF series an excellent set of knives for professional chefs and commercial kitchens.

GS SERIES: A Classic collection of small and medium sized knives with weighted hollow handles for lighter; more intricate work. The collection includes more specialist kitchen tools suitable for all food preparation: palette knives, fish bone tweezers and food turners.

GSF SERIES: The Global Small Forged range is made up of smaller, but strong, fully forged knives with solid handles. Their small size, flat handles and strength make them perfect for a range every day, small kitchen tasks.
