Global PROFESSIONAL Catalog 2025

An Age Old Tradition

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. GLOBAL knives have been hand crafted in Japan using the same tradition for 40 years and are developed using the best raw materials available. Like the Samurai swords before them, each knife is carefully weighted to ensure perfect balance in the hand.

How Global Knives Are Made

Designed by a Visionary

GLOBAL knives were first designed in 1985 by visionary industrial designer, Komin Yamada. He was commissioned to develop a range of kitchen knives that was new and revolutionary, using the best materials available and the latest manufacturing techniques that would appeal to both the professional chef and athome gourmet cooks.

THE CLASSIC

Manufactured in Japan since 1985, the GLOBAL CLASSIC collection has remained unchanged as a true testament to its quality and unique construction. This original collection, designed by Komin Yamada, promises durability, quality and timeless design that captures the spirit of GLOBAL’s philosophy and insistence on excellence.

COLLECTION

CROMOVA 18 steel blade retains its edge longer than any major knife brand.

Unique convex edge of the GLOBAL blade makes cuts smoother, requiring less effort.

Ergonomic, stainless-steel hygienic handles with signature dimple pattern offer a bolster-less, comfortable and slip-resistant grip.

THE SAI

GLOBAL SAI, designed by renowned industrial designer Komin Yamada, pays homage to the Samurai tradition of sword making. The slightly longer curved ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip and features 7 signature black dots which represent the 7 Samurai codes of honor and moral principles.

COLLECTION

12.5-degree blade edge is polished by hand for exceptional long-lasting endurance.

Unique thumb rest gives added comfort and control.

Each blade is individually hammered by hand and designed so that small hollows create air pockets between the blade so food elegantly falls away from the surface.
