Always handcrafted at the Yoshikin factory in Niigata, Japan, these knives are designed to the most rigorous manufacturing standards. Winners of numerous awards, these knives have won over professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts alike.<\/p>\n<h2>The ancestral heritage of Japanese knives<\/h2>\n<p>The art of blacksmithing in Japan dates back over a thousand years, to the time when blacksmiths perfected the manufacture of swords for the samurai. Inspired by this tradition, GLOBAL knives have been handcrafted from top-quality materials for over 30 years. Like the swords of ancient warriors, each knife is carefully balanced for perfect grip and handling.<\/p>\n<h2>Designed by Komin Yamada<\/h2>\n<p>In 1985, industrial designer Komin Yamada was commissioned to design a revolutionary range of kitchen knives. His challenge? To create an innovative, high-performance knife, combining the best materials and the latest technological advances. The result: a minimalist, ergonomic design that has conquered the world of gastronomy.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 20px; margin-top: 20px;\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/tranchant-lames-Global.jpg\" width=\"150px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Exceptional sharpness<\/h2>\n<p>The distinguishing feature of GLOBAL knives is their incomparable sharpness. Unlike Western knives, which are bevel-ground, GLOBAL blades are ground at an acute angle. This process gives them an exceptional sharpness that lasts over time. This sharpness, visible to the naked eye, extends over a large part of the blade, guaranteeing precise, effortless cutting.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"float: right; margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 30px;\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Global-Stainless-steel-Cromova-18.jpg\" width=\"200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>CROMOVA 18: High-performance stainless steel<\/h2>\n<p>GLOBAL knives are made from an exclusive alloy: CROMOVA 18. This stainless steel, enriched with molybdenum, vanadium and chromium, gives them several advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Excellent resistance to rust and stains.<\/li>\n<li>Optimum hardness, for longer edge retention.<\/li>\n<li>Easy to sharpen with a stone, for simplified maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Light, balanced and versatile<\/h2>\n<p>Used by star chefs and passionate amateurs alike, GLOBAL knives offer a light, ergonomic grip. Their one-piece steel design guarantees perfect hygiene and reduces hand fatigue, even after hours of use. Thanks to their sturdiness and long-lasting cutting edge, they outperform many of the leading competing brands.<\/p>\n<h2>Why choose a GLOBAL knife?<\/h2>\n<p>\u2705 Made in Japan according to ancestral tradition. \u2705 CROMOVA 18 steel for exceptional longevity. \u2705 Unique sharpening for a clean, precise cut. \u2705 Perfect balance for a comfortable grip. \u2705 Approved by chefs worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re a professional or a culinary enthusiast, opting for a GLOBAL knife means choosing Japanese excellence and precision for your culinary creations.<\/p>\n<p>Need a chef&#8217;s knife, a vegetable knife or a santoku?<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maisonrondeau.com\/en\/contact-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact us<\/a> for our selection of GLOBAL knives <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">(Discover our selection)<\/span> and equip yourself like a true professional!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Functional design steeped in tradition From its modest beginnings, the GLOBAL brand has established itself as one of the leading references in professional kitchen knives.
