Global Classic Knives

The Evolution of the Icon: The GLOBAL Z Series Step into the next evolution of precision cutlery with the GLOBAL Z series—an exclusive, limited-edition innovation designed for serious chefs and discerning home cooks alike. Building on GLOBAL’s decades-long legacy of performance and craftsmanship, the GLOBAL Z redefines what a stainless-steel knife can achieve in a professional kitchen environment. At the core of this masterpiece is GLOBAL’s signature CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, a material celebrated for its balance of edge retention and ease of sharpening. However, the 'Z' series pushes the envelope by integrating an advanced Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. This cutting-edge surface treatment imparts exceptional strength, giving the blade physical properties similar to a diamond. This isn't just an aesthetic choice; it is a fundamental upgrade to the physics of your cut. The result is a knife that excels in every category. The enhanced surface hardness provides outstanding resilience against the demanding pace of high-volume prep work. The low-friction DLC finish allows the blade to glide through proteins and dense vegetables with almost zero drag, while the increased corrosion resistance protects your investment against rust, stains, and acidity. This is more than a tool; it is a limited-run engineering marvel that represents the absolute peak of high-performance kitchen cutlery. Learn More

The Global G-11R shatters this notion. Crafted from Global's signature CROMOVA 18 high-carbon stainless steel, it offers: Exceptional Sharpness & Edge Retention: Ice-tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58, the blade achieves and maintains a razor-sharp edge, gliding through fish with minimal effort. Superior Rust & Stain Resistance: Enjoy the precision of a Yanagi without the constant worry.

This makes the G-11R a practical, long-lasting investment. Designed to create the perfect slice: The G-11R is a true Yanagi (or Yanagiba), meaning "willow leaf blade," referring to its long, slender profile: Single Bevel Blade (Right-Handed): The traditional chisel edge (ground on one side) creates an incredibly fine cutting surface. This design helps to separate the slice from the main body of the fish cleanly, reducing friction and preventing sticking for a beautiful, glossy finish on your sashimi. Optimal Length: The 25cm (10-inch) blade allows for the essential long, drawing cut, ensuring that each slice is made in a single, fluid motion without sawing.

This double-bevel design makes it suitable for both right and left-handed users. It also enables this knife to be easily re-sharpened with draw sharpeners unlike many other sashimi slicers that can only be sharpened by hand on stones.
