Global is Yoshikin brand, created 25 years ago. From the start until today, the knives have been crafted by hand in Niigata, Japan, in the Samurai swords tradition.
Global are known for their sharpness, the blade being very thin, thinner than western knives. Indeed, though th blade is not a single bevel, this is not a double bevel either! This is a straight edge, that goes on to the spine of the blade. This makes the entire cut very precise, and the knives will remain sharp longer than other knives.
Another quality of Global is their lightness. Though the steel thery’re made of is harder than many others, the CROMOVA 18 (chromium, molybdenum and vanadium) and thus very resistant, it’s lighter than most of all other knives. Some chefs would even say too light ! But this is a very enjoyable experience at the end of your cutting day. The CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary material made by Global, and only used in Global knives.
So Global succeeds to make knives that are different but with all qualities to please you, the serious chef. A strong steel to keep a cutting edge longer, and a light and sharp ensemble to allow you maximum control. It’s a brand that became highly popular among chefs in their (only?) 25 years of existence.
Also, Global knives have a Lifetime Warranty ! So that’s another reason to confidently purchase these stylish, light and sharp knives from Japan.
