From very modest beginnings Global has developed into one of the most successful brands of professional kitchen knives in the world. The prestigious Global kitchen knives were first designed in 1985 by Komin Yamada, when he was tasked with developing a range of knives that was truly unique and revolutionary, using the highest quality materials available and the latest manufacturing techniques. He was to create a series of kitchen knives which would appeal to both the professional and amateur chef as well as being easy to handle, and meet their most demanding requirements. Still crafted by hand in Yoshikin's factory in Niigata, Japan, Global knives are manufactured to extremely high and exacting standards to withstand rigorous use. To do this they uses Cromova 18 Stainless steel which has been designed exclusively for the manufacture of Global Knives. Over the years Global has attracted much acclaim and received countless awards including numerous 'Good House Keeping Tried and Tested Award' and 'Best Knife' by WHICH! Global knives are favoured today by many high ranking chefs in the most prestigious hotels and restaurants and regularly feature on television cookery programmes in the hands of the most celebrated chefs. Most recently Heston Blumenthal was spotted using them to slice into a Sea Cucumber on Heston's Fishy Feast. We are an authorised stockist for Global and trade directly with Grunwerg.
