Global Classic Knives
Crafted in Japan since 1983, Global Classic knives are known for their distinctive single-piece stainless steel construction. The blades are made from CROMOVA 18, a high-carbon stainless steel containing chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium, which provides good stain resistance and edge retention. Instead of a traditional tang, the hollow stainless steel handle is filled with sand to achieve an ideal weight and balance. This seamless design offers hygienic benefits, as there are no gaps where food can be trapped.
The blade edge on Global knives is ground to an acute angle, resulting in a notably sharp edge that lasts. The handles feature a signature dimpled pattern for a secure, slip-resistant grip. Favored by both professional chefs and home cooks, these lightweight knives are designed for balance and precision in a variety of kitchen tasks.

Global Classic 10-Piece Takashi Knife Block Set
A Complete Global Kitchen, from Peeler to Bread Knife The Global Classic 10-Piece Takashi Knife Block Set is for cooks who want a dedicated Global blade for every common task, including boning and fine peeling, rather than asking a few knives to do everything. It adds kitchen shears and a ceramic rod, and keeps the full collection in one bamboo block.
Why It Works Eight task-specific knives: Three small blades for peeling, paring and utility work, a vegetable knife, a flexible boning knife, a chef’s knife and a bread knife cover the range from in-hand trimming to whole loaves. Ceramic rod included: A ceramic rod suits Global’s hard, thin edges, realigning and lightly refining them between whetstone sharpenings. Seamless steel construction: With no rivets, seams or wooden scales, there is nothing to loosen, crack or trap food. Sand-weighted hollow handles: Sand inside each handle sets the balance, so even the longer blades stay light and controllable. No bolster: The edge runs to the heel, so the whole blade can be sharpened.
In the Kitchen The chef’s knife and vegetable knife share the board work, one for rock-chopping and proteins, the other for straight push cuts through vegetables. The flexible boning knife follows the bones of chicken thighs, pork loin and ribs. The three small knives handle peeling, coring, shallots and garnish work, and the bread knife takes on crusted loaves. The shears cover packaging, herbs and poultry. For a smaller set built on the same chef’s and bread knives, see the Global Ikasu 5-Piece Knife Block Set. Learn MoreRegular Price: $999.95

Global Ikasu 5-Piece Knife Block Set
Four Global Classics in a Compact Bamboo Block The Global Ikasu 5-Piece Knife Block Set is for cooks who want the light, all-steel feel of Global knives and a short list of blades that covers most daily cutting. It pairs the line’s signature chef’s knife with a bread knife, a vegetable knife and a small utility knife, housed in a bamboo block that takes up little counter space.
Why It Works Seamless stainless construction: Blade and handle meet without rivets or joints, leaving nowhere for food to collect and nothing to loosen with use. Sand-weighted hollow handles: Each handle is filled with just enough sand to balance the blade, which keeps the knives light in the hand without feeling tip-heavy. Dimpled grip: The signature dimple pattern gives the steel handle a secure texture for the fingers. No bolster: The edge runs uninterrupted to the heel, so the full length of the blade can be sharpened. Ice-tempered steel: Global’s molybdenum-vanadium stainless steel resists rust and staining, and returns to a keen edge readily on a ceramic rod or whetstone.
In the Kitchen The chef’s knife handles most of the board work, from dicing onions to slicing chicken. The vegetable knife’s straight, flat edge meets the board along its full length, which makes clean push cuts through cabbage, carrots and herbs. The bread knife saws through crusted loaves and ripe tomatoes, and the utility knife takes on trimming, shallots and small fruit. Cooks who want a paring knife in place of the utility knife can compare the Global Classic 5-Piece Hashira Knife Block Set, and those who want the full range of Global profiles should see the Global Classic 10-Piece Takashi Knife Block Set.

The Essential Global Knives in an Open-Frame Maple Block The Global Classic 5-Piece Hashira Knife Block Set is for cooks with limited counter space who want the four Global knives that cover most daily cutting.

Why It Works Narrow, open-frame block: Light maple and clear acrylic hold the four knives upright in a slim footprint suited to small kitchens and crowded counters. Seamless stainless steel: Each knife is a continuous steel form from tip to handle end, with no rivets, seams or wooden scales to crack or trap food. Sand-weighted handles: The hollow handles are filled with sand to set the balance, keeping the knives light without making them tip-heavy. Convex edge: The blades are ground on both sides to an acute convex edge, which keeps them thin behind the cutting edge for clean slicing. No bolster: The edge runs uninterrupted to the heel, so the whole blade can be sharpened.
In the Kitchen The chef’s knife handles onions, proteins and herbs. The vegetable knife’s straight edge chops cabbage, cucumbers and greens in clean push cuts, and the bread knife saws through crusted loaves and tomatoes.

Global Classic Yanagiba Sashimi Knife 300mm G-14R
Precision Geometry Meets Modern Metallurgy: The Global G-14R 300mm Yanagiba In the world of high-end sushi and precision protein fabrication, the Global G-14R 11.8-inch (300mm) Yanagiba stands as a bridge between ancient Japanese tradition and contemporary kitchen performance. While many knives claim versatility, the Yanagiba is a specialist, designed with a singular purpose: to glide through raw fish with zero resistance, preserving the delicate cellular structure of the protein and ensuring a mirror-like finish on every slice. This is not a standard slicer. The G-14R utilizes a traditional single-sided chisel grind (Urasuki). The back of the blade is slightly concave, creating a pocket of air that prevents the fish from sticking to the steel. This geometry allows the chef to produce tissue-thin slices of Hamachi or Maguro that practically fall away from the blade. At 300mm, the length is optimized for the 'long pull' technique—one continuous motion from heel to tip—eliminating the jagged edges caused by the back-and-forth sawing motion of shorter, inferior blades. Constructed from Global’s proprietary Cromova 18 Stainless Steel, this knife offers a significant advantage over traditional high-carbon Yanagibas: it is exceptionally stain-resistant. For a professional in a high-volume environment, this means you can focus on your craft rather than constant blade wiping and oxidation management. The ice-tempering process brings the steel to a Rockwell Hardness of 56-58, striking the perfect balance between a razor-sharp edge and the toughness required to resist chipping during a demanding 12-hour shift.
