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 6-inch Serrated Utility Knife
Ripe tomatoes, lemons and hard salami all have a skin or casing that a straight edge has to press against before it cuts. The GS-14’s serrated 15 cm blade starts that cut with a light stroke, so a tomato slices without collapsing and a lemon comes apart without spraying juice across the board.The blade is long enough for a sandwich or a crusty roll and short enough to handle like a utility knife. It slices cured sausages and hard cheese rinds, and its serrations keep their bite on the board longer than a straight edge does on these foods. For a full loaf of bread, a longer knife covers the width more easily.
Serrated Utility or Bread Knife?The Global Classic 8.5-inch Bread Knife is the better tool for whole loaves and large crusty breads. Choose the GS-14 for tomatoes, citrus, sandwiches and charcuterie. For straight-edge utility work, see the Global 40th Anniversary 6-inch Kiritsuke Utility Knife. Utility knife styles are described in our kitchen knife shapes guide. Learn More -
Global Classic 8.5-inch Bread Knife
A crusty sourdough loaf or a baguette needs a bread knife that bites through the crust without crushing the crumb beneath it. The G-9 has a 22 cm serrated blade that cuts the crust with light sawing strokes, so the soft interior keeps its shape and slices come out even.The same serrations handle any food with a tough skin and a soft inside. They start a cut on a ripe tomato without pressing it flat and take a pineapple or melon through the rind. The length covers a wide boule or a sandwich loaf in a single stroke.The G-9 is part of the Global Ikasu 5-Piece Knife Block Set, the Global Classic 5-Piece Hashira Knife Block Set and the Global Classic 10-Piece Takashi Knife Block Set. A cook building a collection one knife at a time can pair it with a chef’s knife such as the Global Classic 8-inch Chef’s Knife. For smaller loaves, rolls and tomatoes, the Global Classic 6-inch Serrated Utility Knife is a shorter serrated option. Bread knives are covered in our guide to kitchen knife shapes. Learn More -
Global Classic 4-Piece Steak Knife Set
Steak knives meet a plate with every cut, and a ceramic or porcelain plate dulls an edge quickly. These four Global steak knives can be sharpened again when that happens, which keeps them cutting cleanly through steak, chops and roast chicken.The knives are compact and light at the table and match the look of Global Classic kitchen knives such as the Global Classic 8-inch Chef’s Knife, which makes them a natural addition for a household that already cooks with Global. They cut fish and sausages on the plate just as well.A common question is whether Global steak knives can go in the dishwasher. Global advises against it for all of its knives; hand washing and drying after the meal keeps the edges and the steel in good condition. The full care instructions are below, along with a comparison of the other Global sets. Learn MoreRegular Price: $249.95
