Global GS-Series Knives

Classic collection of small and medium sized Global knives for general preparation and also for the more adventurous chef.  GS-series knives are small and medium bladed knives with weighted hollow handles.

Global Knives

From very modest beginnings Global has developed into one of the most successful brands of professional kitchen knives in the world.  Still crafted by hand in Yoshikin's factory in Niigata, Japan, Global knives are manufactured to extremely high and exacting standards and have won many awards.

Global Features

The two most innovative features of Global knives are their edge and the way they are balanced. The majority of Global knives are sharpened or ground on both sides of the blade, just like Western style knives. However, their edges are ground steeply to a point, and to an acute angle.  which results in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer.

Global CROMOVA Steel

Yoshikin uses its own proprietary stainless steel called CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel and this material has been designed exclusively for Global knives. This steel is hard enough for Global knives to hold the steep, acute cutting edge and keep their edge for a long time, but soft enough so that it is not too difficult to sharpen them.

Global Knives History

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 Global kitchen knives which would appeal to the professional and amateur chef alike, be comfortable and easy to handle, and meet their most demanding requirements.
