The one and only distributor of global knives for the last 35 years

direct from japan

Global kitchen knives were first designed in 1985 by the creative visionary, Komin Yamada. 40 years later they have truely stood the test of time, professional chefs and home cooks worldwide.

Exceptionally Sharp

The most important feature of any knife is its edge, and the GLOBAL edge is truly its signature.

Global edges are ground steeply to a point (Fig.1) to an acute angle. This is in contrast to Western or European knives that use a beveled edge, (Fig.2). The straight edge results in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer.

HOW GLOBAL KNIVES ARE MADE

From its modest inception, GLOBAL has developed into one of the most successful brands of professional kitchen knives in the world. Still crafted by hand in Yoshikin’s factory in Niigata, Japan, GLOBAL knives are manufactured to extremely high and exacting standards. GLOBAL has attracted much acclaim over the years and received numerous awards.
