History Of Global Knives

 There is a long history behind Global Knives  The Samurai tradition a thousand years ago , Japanese swordsmiths created the fine art of making samurai swords and  to provide strong, sharp blades for the Samurai, the feared warrior. At the present time  , and following on from  the Samurai sword tradition, Professional Japanese  craftsmen are making Global Knives of the highest quality. Global knife sets are manufactured by Yoshikin in Niigata, Japan.
Global knives were created by a man named Komin Yamada  . When Komin Yamada was commissioned for making Global Knives  his mandate was to produce a range of Global Knives that was truly new and revolutionary , using the finest materials available and modern manufacturing processes  . He was to fashion a series of kitchen knives Perfect   to the professional and amateur chef, Global knives need be comfortable and easy to handle, and meet their most demanding requirements .
The two most revolutionary characteristics of Global knives which are their edge and the way the global knife balances  . The first thing you notice about the Global Knife is the quality of the sharp edge  . The majority of the Global knives are sharpened or ground on both sides of the blade , just like Western style knives. The difference is the edges are ground very steeply  to a point and acute angle. This is in contrast to Western or European knives that use a bevelled edge The straight edge results in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer . The edge on a Global knife is so large and prominent that it is effortlessly seen with the naked eye and extends some way  from the tip of the knife. To balance their knives , Global uses sand to create a balance  within the handle of the Global Knives  . Global uses this method rather than using a full tang and a bolster to balance their knives for two reasons . It is far more precise than using a tang and a bolster. Another reason is  , Asian knives typically do not have bolsters , as  they  are  a hindrance to general Global Knife maintenence and usuage .Other unique features of Global knives are their sleek contours and seamless, all stainless steel construction which removes  food and dirt traps offering the ultimate in safety and hygiene.
