Stainless-steel face-ground blades for long-lasting sharpness
Slip-resistant, balanced handles
Editorial Review:
The first Global knife was designed in 1985 by Komin Yamada who was commissioned to develop a superior, revolutionary knife made with the best materials and employing the most modern design concepts. Given an almost unlimited budget, he created an award-winning knife that ultimately appealed to both the professional and at-home chefs. Made from the finest stainless steel available anywhere (Molybdenum/vanadium), these knives have remarkably sharp, flexible blades that have been ice-tempered and hardened to meet stringent standards - perfect for slicing bread, carving meat or peeling vegetables. Each one holds its razor sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion. Like the Samurai swords before it, the knife is carefully weighted to ensure perfect balance. The smooth contours and seamless construction prevent food and dirt particles from collecting on the knife.Included in the set:4" Paring Knife, 5" Utility Knife, 8 1/4" Carving Knife, 8 Chef's Knife, 8 3/4" Bread Knife
Many professional chefs are replacing their traditional heavy German knives with lighter Japanese-made cutlery. Manufactured from a hard grade of stainless steel, the blades on these knives are face-ground with a long taper and at an acute angle to produce long-lasting razor-sharpness. The stainless-steel handles are seamlessly constructed to the blade and indented with a dimpled pattern to make them slip-free. Metal or sand fills the handle to provide the proper balance for cutting and slicing.
This full set includes an 8-inch chef's knife, an 8-1/4-inch carving knife, an 8-3/4-inch bread knife, a 5-inch chef's utility knife, and a 4-inch paring knife. All cutlery safely fits in the included stainless-steel storage dock, which rests horizontally for in-drawer storage. All Global knives are covered by a lifetime warranty against breakage and manufacturing defects. --Cristina Vaamonde

best knives in the world the title says it all i repeat the best knives in the world.....
Very nice knives. Light, and quick Find out if you like heft or speed. I love to cook, I'm decent in chinese and french foods and I love all meats. It's no cleaver, but they're very sharp knives and i've hit plenty of bone, tendons etc...and they're still sharp even after months on a hardwood butcher block. I've put them through the dishwasher...or should I say the wife has. I ALWAYS hand wash and hand dry these quickly....but admittedly they have sat int he dishwasher against other items and they haven't rusted like some other big... more info
Amazing knives These have got to be the sweetest knives I have ever used. I used to use a Henckle chef knife, but it doesn't hold a candle to the Global.
I only have two beefs with these knives:
1) They are so sharp that they can leave deep gouges in your cutting board if you are careless (especially the serrated while cutting bread).
2) The knive handle is more difficult to dry because its dimples like to retain water. When it is wet it can create an unusual tactile sensation in your hand.
Fiercely sharp, yet light and elegant The Global 5 knife set features the standard lightweight, ultra sharp knives which make the Global name famous. The addition of a knife dock/rack makes storing your knives even easier. The set starts with the basic 8 inch chef knife with a slighly flexible blade that can be used to chop vegetables or fillet a fish. The set contains a number of additional blades from a bread knife to utility and paring knives. The first thing you'll do when you get these knives is test out making paper thin slices of... more info
