About Global

Our story started a thousand years ago. Japanese swordsmiths developed the high art of sword making to provide strong, sharp blades for the Samurai, the feared warrior caste...

Today, in the Samurai sword tradition, Japanese craftsmen are continuing to produce cutlery of the highest quality...

The first GLOBAL knives were designed in 1985 by Komin Yamada whose remit was to develop a range of knives which was truly new and revolutionary, harnessing the best materials available and the most modern design concepts. With an almost unlimited budget he was to fashion a series of kitchen knives which would appeal to the professional and amateur chef alike. They are comfortable, easy to handle, and meet their most demanding requirements.

KNIFE SHARPENING

GLOBAL knives come out of the factory in Japan with a very sharp edge and CROMOVA 18, GLOBAL’S unique blade material, ensures that this sharpness will be maintained longer than most other knives. However, Global knives need to be sharpened from time to time to maintain their keen edge. As a general rule, the best sharpening tool for an individual is one that he or she is going to use. Each tool is different and may be easy or difficult to use depending on the individual and their level of experience or skill.

GLOBAL recommends periodically sharpening your knives using either a waterstone or ceramic stone. In between stone sharpening’s, it is recommended that you use the Global fine ceramic or diamond rod to keep the edges of your knives aligned. Global serrated knives do not need to be sharpened.
