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.
