With their distinctive look, Global knives are easily recognizable and a leading brand in the world of cutlery. Global knives were developed in the 1980s by the Japanese company Yoshikin Metal Co, Ltd. Founded in the 1950s, the company was known for their hollow-handled flatware, and they wanted to apply this technology to a purely stainless steel knife series. They partnered with Japanese industrial designer Yamada Komin, who had provided the company with award winning flatware designs. Yamada considered the user as he developed the Global line, giving each knife a handle designed to help the knife perform with maximum efficiency.
What sets a Global knife apart is the stainless steel construction from blade to bolster to handle. Each knife is made from Yoshikin's proprietary CROMOVA 18 stainless steel. This formulation of stainless steel combines steel with chromium, molybdenum and vanadium to create a stainless steel that really holds an edge like a high-carbon steel, but is lighter and stain resistant.
The handles are also distinctive when compared to other knife manufacturers. Not only are the hollow designs ideal for lightness and maneuverability, Yamada Komin thought about the complete design of the knife as he developed them for Yoshikin. If you look at other knife collections, you will notice that each knife has the same handle, regardless of its use. Global considers how the knife is held as it is used, and the handles are shaped accordingly. That's why the Global paring knife handle has more of an angle compared to the Global chef's knife.
While Global boasts of over 100 types of blade in their line, Crate & Barrel has selected the knives most used in daily kitchen tasks. Choose from our open stock collection that includes bread, paring, chef's and utility knives as well as slicers. Depending on the knife and its intended use, you can select straight, serrated and hollow-ground edges.

If you're looking for a quality knife, Global is crafted just for you. First introduced in 1985 by Yoshikin Manufacturing, the innovative designs of Global knives quickly took the culinary world by storm. Devised as a blend of Italian design, German durability and Japanese precision, Global knives are crafted from single pieces of CROMOVA 18 stainless steel.
CROMOVA 18 stainless steel has been exclusively developed for use in GLOBAL knives from their carving knife, chef knife, to the smallest utility knife. It is hard enough for the knives to keep their sharp edge but soft enough so they can be easily sharpened. Like the best-selling Ikasu 7 Piece Knife Block Set, the high percentage of chromium in the knives enable their excellent stain resistance.
From the bread knife to the boning knife, each are tempered twice for a superior blade with a sharp and resilient edge. Global knives incorporate easy-to-use lightweight construction and perfectly weighted handles featuring their signature dimple-pattern grips for superior balance and control. No matter which knife set you choose, Global guarantees all of their products for life!

Yoshida Metal Industry Co. Ltd. was established in 1954 as a western tableware manufacturer in Niigata prefecture, producing hollow handled table knives for Western markets. In 1960 Yoshikin introduced the Bunmei series of knives,[2] traditional Japanese-looking knives that used a new alloy steel, able to be sharpened like carbon steel, but with a mixture of molybdenum and vanadium that made the steel more resistant to rust (now known colloquially as Japanese steel).[3] In 1983, Yoshikin hired a Japanese industrial designer, Komin Yamada, to create a knife design that combined these two manufacturing techniques.[4] GLOBAL began its international expansion under Yuzo Watanabe in Japan in 1985.[5][6]
Compared to conventional European knives such as J. A. Henckels or Wüsthof, GLOBAL knives are made from a significantly harder alloy of steel and use a thinner blade. In addition, the cutting edge of the blades are ground at a more shallow 15 angle, which produces a sharper knife that also hold its edge for longer and allows for more accurate work. The one drawback of this design however is that when the blade does dull it take longer to regain that same quality of edge through sharpening.[11] Because of this, the manufacturer recommends using whetstones and ceramic sharpening rods as opposed to the European sharpening steel.
GLOBAL knives have black dimples on the handle and on one model of their knife block. The black dimples found on the handle serve mainly an aesthetic purpose however are also intended to increase the amount of grip the user is able to get on the knife.[12]
Although GLOBAL Knives appear to be one seamless piece of steel they actually consist of three different pieces that have all been carefully crafted together to give a one piece appearance.[12] The three pieces that make up the knife are first stamped out of a sheet of CROMOVA 18 steel, the two pieces of the handle are then TIG welded together.[11][12] While after attaching the two pieces of handle together leaves the center hollow, it doesn't stay that way for long, each handle is then injected with fine grain sand to add weight and balance to the knife.[12]
Global Knives are easy to use, razor-sharp and exceptionally light. Knives from Global are unique in the world of fine cutlery. The stainless steel used in a Global knife is harder than the steel used in traditional German cutlery. Global knives stay sharper longer. Global cutlery is also much lighter than many top quality knives because of strong, thin blades balanced with comfortable handles. Confidently select Global knives, backed with a lifetime warranty from Global cutlery.
Their name reflects their presence in kitchens around the world, but Global Knives could only really come from one country - Japan. The art of Japanese knife making can be traced back over a thousand years to the Samurai (or bushi) warriors. These fierce warriors had a wide armoury of weapons at their disposal, but their weapon of choice was the sword. The Katana was one such sword favoured by the Samurai. Its distinctive appearance is characterised by a long curved, single-edged blade and two-handed grip. Japanese sword-smiths turned sword making into an art form. The bladesmithing and forging process was extremely labour-intensive and could take many days or even weeks. Each process required a specialist craftsman - from forging and folding to polishing and sharpening.
Global Knives are made by the Yoshida Metal Industry Co. Ltd (also known as Yoshikin) in Niigata prefecture. Established in 1954, the company specialised in producing hollow-handled table knives for Western markets. In 1960 a new rust-resistant alloy of molybdenum and vanadium was used for their Bunmei series of knives. This alloy is now known as Japanese steel. In 1985, the visionary designer Komin Yamada was commissioned by Yoshida to work on a new product line. He was tasked to develop a knife range that was \"truly new and revolutionary, using the best materials available and the latest manufacturing techniques.\" The knives would also have to meet the needs of the most demanding professional chef whilst being comfortable and easy enough to handle for amateur chef too. The result was the all-stainless steel, one-piece knife range that had a huge impact in kitchens across the globe.
A knife is only as good as the material it's made from. Yoshikin uses its own proprietary stainless steel call Cromova 18 Stainless Steel, which was made exclusively for Global Knives. Compared to conventional European knives, Global are stronger, thinner and are ground to a narrower angle. The alloy of steel they are made from is hard enough for the knives to hold their cutting edge for a long time yet soft enough so they're not too difficult to sharpen. Additionally, the 'cro' in Cromova 18 stands for chromium and the 18 is the percentage of chromium in the steel. This high percentage of chromium contributes to a Global knife's excellent stain resistance.
The narrower blade angle is all-important too. A steeper 15 makes for a sharper blade that will keep its edge for longer. Most Global knives are sharpened on both sides, like a Western style knife. Ground to a steep point at an acute angle, rather than a European knife's bevelled edge, you can see the edge on a Global knife with the naked eye as it extends a quarter of an inch up from the tip of the knife. 59ce067264
