Global Knives

Global kitchen knives were first designed in 1985 by Komin Yamada. When Komin Yamada was commissioned for this task, his mandate was to develop a range of knives that was truly new and revolutionary, using the best materials available and the latest manufacturing techniques. He was to fashion a series of kitchen knives that would appeal to the professional and amateur chef alike, be comfortable and easy to handle, and meet their most demanding requirements.

From very modest beginnings, Global kitchen knives have developed into one of the most successful brands of professional knives in the world. Still crafted by hand in Yoshikin's factory in Niigata, Japan, Global kitchen knives are manufactured to extremely high and exacting standards and have attracted much acclaim over the years, receiving a number of awards along the way.

Global kitchen knives are favoured today by many celebrated chefs in the most prestigious hotels and restaurants and it is common to see a Global kitchen knife or a Global kitchen knife set featured on television cookery programmes.

Global kitchen knives sets are an ideal way to start your collection and also make the perfect gift. Sets of all sizes are available, some with storage options (blocks, racks, docks) and others simply contain a selection of knives. Each Global kitchen knives set contains a different selection of knives to ensure that there is one that is right for you.

The best way to store your knives is in one of the Global kitchen knife blocks, gift cases or on one of their magnetic racks. To help keep your Global kitchen knives set sharp, make sure you store them safely. This range ensures that your storage solution is as stylish as your knives.
