GLOBAL Japanese knives are the favourite of chefs in the world's most prestigious hotels and restaurants.

The first GLOBAL knife was designed in 1985 by Komin Yamada, who gave the knife a new and revolutionary design.

The main features of GLOBAL knives are:

Lightness: GLOBAL was the first company in the world to create a knife with a hollow steel handle. This feature reduces the weight of the knife by 30%.

Ease of handling: Thanks to their light weight and the anatomical shape of the handle, GLOBAL knives are suitable for continuous and prolonged use, reducing user fatigue to a minimum.

Blade strength: GLOBAL knives are made of the best steels and the most modern manufacturing techniques. In the blades there is a high percentage of Molybdenum/Vanadium thanks to which the hardness of the steel reaches 56/58 Rockwell, thus increasing the life of the edge.

Robustness: As GLOBAL knives are made completely of steel (handle and blade) they are practically indestructible.
