Global Knives, crafted in Japan to impeccable standards, feature Cromova 18 stainless-steel blades known for their razor-sharpness, hollow weighted handles, and a 15-degree convex cutting edge. Renowned for their distinctive design, these knives have maintained their popularity over the years. To mark their 40th anniversary, Global has introduced a selection of limited-edition knives and knife block sets.

Global's limited edition 40th Anniversary 7 Piece Knife Block features the iconic 'ship shape' knife block set, with 6 of the most popular knives from Global.

The Global 40th Anniversary 7 Piece Knife Block Set includes:

G-4 | 18cm Oriental Cook's Knife - The G-4 chef's knife is versatile for most kitchen tasks such as slicing, dicing, and chopping. Its performance closely matches that of the classic G-2 chef's knife, with the primary difference being aesthetic—the slight kink in the blade. This design element gives the knife an 'oriental' appearance but does not affect its functionality. Contrary to its appearance, the G-4 is not tailored specifically for oriental cuisine or techniques; rather, it offers a different shape compared to traditional chef's knives. Its gently curved blade facilitates a rocking motion while cutting, similar to a mezzaluna on a chopping board.

G-58 | 11cm Cook's Knife - The G-58 knife, measuring 11 cm, is a slightly smaller version of the same knife, featuring the large G series handle. The shorter blade offers better control and may feel less intimidating, especially for those with smaller hands. Regardless of size, all these knives perform the same tasks in the kitchen, making the choice largely a matter of personal preference.

GS-110AN | 15cm Kiritsuke Knife - The newest addition to the Global family, is the GS-110, a small 15cm Kiritsuke Knife. A Kiritsuke Knife, traditionally much larger and over 24cm in length is used by Japanese head chefs as a multipurpose knife for slicing. Kiritsuke knives typically have very straight blades, like the Japanese Usuba vegetable knives, but with the longer blade of a Yanagiba knife. Such knives are hard to use and are usually only wielded by the most skilled Japanese chefs as a symbol of status. Our small Kiritsuke pays homage to the true knife, with a slightly curved blade to aid general cutting and function as a small chef's/cook's knife.

GS-38 | 9cm Paring Knife - The GS-38 is a beautifully designed paring knife perfect for various small kitchen tasks. It serves as a hollow handle counterpart to the GSF-15 and is commonly included in newer knife sets. Its ergonomic hollow handle ensures comfortable handling, enhancing the overall user experience.

GS-55 | 12cm Fluted Oriental Santoku Knife - The GS-55 Oriental Santoku knife features flutes that prevent food from sticking to the blade while cutting. It's ideal for slicing, dicing, and mincing, making it perfect for small vegetables and fruits. This versatile knife is an excellent all-purpose tool for various kitchen tasks.

GS-61 | 16cm Bagel/Bread Knife - The GS-61 is suitable for most types of bread and is a more affordable alternative to the full G-9. Additionally, it serves well as a utility knife for vegetables with tough skins and soft interiors, making it excellent for slicing large tomatoes.

This is the ultimate Global SAI knife block set, a truly comprehensive set for those that want the best that Global has to offer. Each set comes with a large Global ship shape block that comfortably fits the Global SAI knives and any others you wish to purchase. The set contains all the knives you would need in a home kitchen.

The name 'UKON' has many positive connotations in Japanese legend. Our favourite use of the word lies in the expression 'Tachibana No Ukon' referring to the Mandarin Tree that was symbolically planted on the right-hand side of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. It was said to balance the Cherry Blossom Tree on the left-hand side, known as the 'Sakura No Sakon'. Together they replaced the Samurai Guards who had until then protected the Emperor, but who were deemed no longer necessary during times of peace.

In true GLOBAL tradition, the knife is constructed from the best Stainless Steel material and the UKON series features thicker blades to enhance performance. UKON knives are subject to even more precise grinding and finishing work, making them 10 percent sharper out of the box. The knives are designed with an ambidextrous thumb rest that sits closer to the blade for added control and efficiency. The underside of the handle features GLOBAL's trademark indentations, making UKON knives extremely comfortable to hold.

The Ukon 6-Piece Knife Block Set is a real showpiece! It features a stylish and contemporary stainless-steel and black design that will complement any kitchen setting. The knife block includes the GU-01 20cm Chef’s Knife, the GU-03 22cm Bread Knife, the GUM-10 14cm Vegetable Knife, the GUS-22 15cm Scalloped Utility Knife and the GUF-30 9cm Paring Knife.
