Knife Block Sets

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.

Professional Prep Efficiency with the Global G-251138/M30 Set For chefs who demand a razor edge that holds up through 50 pounds of vegetable prep and precision proteins, the Global G-251138/M30 set offers the definitive solution. This isn't just a collection of tools; it is a meticulously curated system designed to maximize counter space while keeping your most vital blades within reach. Unlike traditional wooden blocks that can harbor moisture and bacteria, the G-42 Magnetic Bar provides a sanitary, wall-mounted display that protects the acute 50/50 bevel of each blade. Every knife in this set is constructed from Global’s proprietary Cromova 18 stainless steel—a blend of chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium. This metallurgy ensures the knives are hard enough to stay sharp yet tough enough to resist chipping during demanding shifts. The signature dimpled handles aren't just for aesthetics; they provide a slip-resistant grip even when working with oily proteins or wet produce. Each handle is hollow and filled with a precise amount of sand to achieve the perfect balance, reducing wrist fatigue during repetitive tasks like mincing herbs or dicing mirepoix. From the flagship G-2 8-inch Chef Knife to the specialized GS-11 Flexible Utility knife, this set covers 95% of all kitchen tasks. Whether you are performing delicate citrus segmenting with the GS-38 Paring knife or breaking down large cabbages with the GS-5 Vegetable knife, you are using tools engineered for Japanese precision and Western durability.
