It’s a versatile type of knife that can slice, chop, and dice almost any ingredient. The weight of the blade makes work easier, especially when cutting through large cuts of meat or firm vegetables.

The first Global knife, model G-2, was designed in Japan in 1985. To this day, the chef’s knife looks exactly the same as it did over 30 years ago — a testament to its timeless and well-thought-out design. The knife is made from Global’s proprietary steel alloy, Cromova 18 (HRC 57–58).

Durable steel, a unique design, and an exceptionally sharp edge were the key reasons behind the rapid rise in popularity of Global knives. First adopted by professional chefs, home cooks soon followed. Today, Global is one of the most popular and recognized kitchen knife brands in the world.
