Selecting Global Knife Sets For Your Kitchen

Discover the wide array of high-quality global knife sets. These pieces of cutlery are specially designed to be lightweight, easy to use and especially sharp. Featuring details that even professional chefs love, Global knives are well-known for the superlative quality of each blade, the refined balance of the handles and a bold logo that emblazons each knife. When shopping for cutlery sets, consider the type of cooking you like to do at home. Most sets include the basics, but it can be fun to expand your collection and experiment with new kinds of cutting techniques. Global knife sets give you the tools you desire for all your meal prep needs.

About Global Knife Sets

Global has a strong reputation for excellent cutlery. These knife sets are designed by a Japanese cutlery house but constructed for use in Western kitchens.

  • The difference between Asian and Western cutlery is usually a matter of the degree of sharpness of the blade.
  • Knives that are designed for Asian cuisine tend to be extremely sharp and allow a rapid chopping motion. Western knives are used at a variety of angles and speeds for a variety of different dishes.
  • You can choose global knife sets that include blades for all purposes. If you're interested in rounding out your knife collection with typical Asian knives, check out a santoku. The sheep-foot style of the blade can be found in sets with everyday basics, like paring knives.
  • Other sets include specialty cutlery, like a carving set or an architectural bread knife. You can find the classic chef's knife or blades of different sizes for different types of vegetables.

The Global Knife Block

Protect your global knife sets by storing them properly in between uses. Global features a beautiful selection of knife blocks, made of wood, steel and even acrylic, so that you can always keep your knives sharp when not in use and ready to go at a moment's notice.
