Product Information

Steel is probably the most important consideration when buying a knife, and is the main factor in what makes a knife cheap or expensive.

Shun knives have intricate Damascus design on many of their blades, while Global knives are plainer. Global is a Japanese company founded in 1985 by two Japanese men, Mino Tshchida and Komin Yamada. Tsuchida was a master craftsman in the cutlery industry; Yamada was an industrial designer. They set out to make a knife unique in both design and functionality that combined the best of Japanese and German traditions. As for sharpening, which will need to be done probably a few times a year depending on use, the options get more complicated. If you're a novice knife sharpener, a wheel sharpener is probably the best choice because it's safe and it aligns the blade so you can't really get it wrong. Anyone who’s serious about cooking would do well to consider investing in at least one of these pieces, which are thought by many to be the ultimate in knives. Over a thousand years ago, Japanese swordsmen mastered the art of sword-making to arm their much-feared Samurai warriors. Continuing in this tradition today, skilled craftsmen still make each knife by hand, and take pride in upholding the exacting quality for which Global have become renowned.

However, Global knives do hold a blade longer than many German knives with the same hardness rating. This is because of the thinner blade and flatter grind. Global is owned by the Yoshida metal industry, headquartered in Tsubame, Japan. Global knives are manufactured in Niigata, Japan. Probably the biggest difference is the cutting edge. The SAI blade is ground to a 12.5 degree angle (each side), so is narrower than the 15 degree edge on Global and UKON lines. This makes the SAI knives sharper, but more fragile--so SAI knives are impressively sharp, but should be used with care (no hard foods or bones that could chip the thin blade). NOTE: DON’T use traditional steels made from other materials as they are likely to damage your GLOBAL knives. Many people consider Cromova 18 to be inferior to harder Japanese steels, but it's an excellent design, which allows you a super thin, razor sharp blade that's surprisingly durable.

Global makes just about every type of knife you'll need, particularly in their Classic line. The only thing they don't make is a heavy duty chef's knife that you can slice through bone with (though they do make cleavers that will work). We particularly liked the paring knife. It was comfortable in the hand and cored and peeled beautifully. Though the blade is clearly thinner and sharper than the Global Classic line (fantastic for peeling), we didn't find the handle any more comfortable. If you have large hands--or are left-handed--this line is probably not right for you, especially the smaller blades. As with the Classic line, the handle and blade are thin and may strain the hand if you use it for long periods, and the sharp heel is also an issue. We created a tool in the Azure portal to help you migrate your hubs from the Baltimore CyberTrust Root to the DigiCert Global G2 Root on your own schedule. We recommend the following process for migrating your hubs:If you pay attention to steel quality and don't care if a knife is forged or stamped, you can find some great knives at lower price points. Handles (Shape, Size, Material) At one time, Japanese steel was more prone to rust because of the higher carbon content (which is what makes steel hard), but that is no longer the case. Today's Japanese steels have a high carbon content for hardness, and a high chromium content, for rust and corrosion resistance. Many also have vanadium and molybdenum as well, which enhance corrosion resistance. There are various types of whetstones available and normally a medium grit stone is sufficient to start with. However, if the blade is blunt or damaged, it may be necessary to start with rough grit.
