Global knives contain two innovative features, their edge and the way they are balanced. A very powerful detail of any knife is its edge, and the Global edge is actually its signature. Global knives are sharpened or ground steeply to a point, and to an acute angle at the same time as resisting rust, stains and corrosion. The straight edge results in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer. The edge on a Global knife is so large and prominent that it is easily seen with the naked eye and extends a quarter of an inch or more up from the tip of the knife. From its modest inception, Global has developed into some of the successful brands of professional kitchen knives on the earth. 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 through the years and received a lot of awards. A thousand years ago, Japanese sword-smiths developed the high art of sword making to provide strong, sharp blades for the Samurai, the feared warrior caste. Like the Samurai swords before them, each knife is carefully weighted to verify perfect balance in the hand. Global knives are handcrafted in Japan the usage of the same traditions and developed the usage of the best raw materials available.
