A Pioneer: GLOBAL Knives

Since its inception in 1983, GLOBAL has been a trailblazer in the world of kitchen knives. The brand introduced a revolutionary concept—a knife made entirely of stainless steel, from the blade to the handle. This design not only ensures durability but also provides a sleek, modern aesthetic that has made GLOBAL a favorite among both professional chefs and home cooks around the world.

One of the standout features of GLOBAL knives is the clam-shaped blade, which offers a smooth cutting experience like no other. This design, combined with a wide range of blade lengths and types, allows users to select the perfect knife to match their cooking style and preferences.

The knives are also easily recognizable by their black-dotted handle, a design element that has become synonymous with the GLOBAL brand. These attributes have earned GLOBAL prestigious awards such as the Good Design Award and the Long Life Design Award.
