Global Classic 5-Piece Hashira Knife Block Set

The Hashira set is for kitchens short on counter space. Its narrow, upright block of maple and clear acrylic holds four Global Classic knives on a small footprint, and the open frame shows each knife’s profile.

The four knives cover the core of daily cooking. The 8-inch chef’s knife handles onions, proteins and herbs, and the vegetable knife chops cabbage and greens in straight push cuts. The bread knife saws through crusted loaves and tomatoes, and the paring knife takes on peeling and trimming in the hand.

Hashira or Ikasu?

The Global Ikasu 5-Piece Knife Block Set holds the same chef’s, bread and vegetable knives, but swaps the paring knife for a small utility knife and uses a wider bamboo block. Choose the Hashira for the slimmest footprint or if you prefer a paring knife. For wall storage, see the Global Classic 5-Piece Magnetic Knife Bar Set. The Knife Merchant guide to knife shapes explains what each knife does.

Tips for Best Results

Cut with a forward or backward slicing stroke. Chopping straight down onto the board dulls a thin edge faster.
Keep the edge away from bones, frozen food, hard nuts and hard cheese. If the blade catches on something hard, free it with a forward-and-back motion; twisting it sideways can chip or bend the edge.
Cut on wood or plastic. Glass, stone, marble and tile surfaces damage the edge.

Care

Wash the knives by hand with warm water and a mild detergent, and dry them right away. Global advises against the dishwasher.
Wipe the block with a damp cloth and let it dry. Return only clean, dry knives to the slots.
Hone the straight-edged knives with a ceramic or diamond rod and sharpen them on a whetstone at 10 to 15 degrees. Do not hone the serrated bread knife.
