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 40th Anniversary 6-inch Kiritsuke Utility Knife
Released for Global’s 40th anniversary, the GS-110 puts a kiritsuke-style clipped tip on a 15 cm utility knife. The angled point and gently curved edge give it more reach and precision than a standard utility knife, and the blade is tall enough to clear the knuckles on the board.It fills the space between a paring knife and a chef’s knife. The clipped tip draws through scallions and celery for long, thin cuts and scores fish skin. The curved edge slices a single onion or a boneless chicken breast when a full chef’s knife would be more than the job requires. Cooks who work in a small kitchen, or who prefer a lighter knife for most daily cutting, may find it covers a good share of their prep.
