The Global chef knife is a higher end Japanese made knife that has become quite popular with celebrity chefs and has become a favorite of avid home cooks as well. Global makes superior quality cutlery that features elegant, modern design and top notch performance. Most of the edges on Global knives are ground straight and to a point instead of beveled like most European style knives which results in much sharper knives which remain sharp for significantly longer. With a wide range of products, Global makes the perfect knife for any food preparation task. If you are looking for a well made chef knife that will not disappoint you, a Global chef's knife may be just what you need. The pictures above and the descriptions below provide a small sampling of the distinctive knives and chef knife sets available from Global.
