Global is a brand of cutlery products made by Yoshikin of Japan. Their selection of knives are known for their distinctive one piece, molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel design. Global was founded by Minoru Tsuchida in Japan in 1985. Global Knives offer perfect balance and innovative design. The most innovative feature of Global knives is the edge. Most Global knives are sharpened to a point rather than beveled. This results in a dramatically sharper knife which also stays sharper longer. Global knives are renowned for their surprisingly light weight and balance. They have a distinctive appearance with black dimples present on the handle and on one model of their storage block. Over the past decade the Global line has rapidly introduced many new highly specialized knife designs, including a tomato knife and a crab/lobster knife. The excellent cutting abilities that these knives possess have attracted great attention worldwide, winning the highest praise from the most demanding users and launching a revolution that established a new standard for all stainless steel, one-piece knife construction.
