Welcome to our new Seven Facts About series<\/a>, where we\u2019ll be taking an up-close-and-personal look at some of our favourite names and biggest brands\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Global knives are some of our all-time bestselling products. Maybe it\u2019s because they\u2019re widely recognised as some of the best knives around\u2026or maybe it\u2019s because our prices on Global knives are impossible to beat? We\u2019d like to think it\u2019s a bit of both!<\/p>\n

Cooks of all kinds love Global knives. If you\u2019re yet to experience for yourself what makes these knives so popular, it\u2019s about time you gave Global a go. Here are seven reasons you\u2019re going to love Global knives.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h5>\n
1 – Japanese? Yes please!<\/h5>\n

Global knives have been around since the 80s, but Global\u2019s heritage goes back further than that. Quite a bit further, in fact. The shape and construction of each Global knife is based on traditions that go all the way back to the days of feudal Japan, when the most skilled, innovative craftsmen in the land were called upon to make strong, sharp swords for Japan\u2019s revered Samurai warriors. These same principles went into the creation of everyday knives and tools. Global knives are still made and designed entirely in Japan, and they\u2019re renowned as some of the best knives in the world. But don\u2019t take our word for it\u2026<\/p>\n

2 – Popular for a reason<\/h5>\n

Global knives are found in professional kitchens everywhere, because they\u2019re known for their top quality, sharper-than-sharp cutting edges and their durability. They\u2019re recommended by professional chefs Michel Roux Junior and Anthony Bourdain \u2013 but you’ll also find these knives in the kitchens of foodies and enthusiastic home cooks, like you. You might also recognise Global knives as\u00a0the knives used in the MasterChef<\/em> kitchen!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n
3 – Cutting edge style<\/h5>\n

Global knives are instantly recognisable. Their seamless stainless steel construction, combined with Global\u2019s dotted grip and distinctively shaped\u00a0handles puts these knives in a class of their own. It\u2019s a design that\u2019s remained unchanged for more than thirty years now\u2026in fact, it could quite possibly be the most stylish thing to come out of the 80s! Global\u2019s range of knife blocks is just as attractive \u2013 we\u2019ll have more about those later\u2026<\/p>\n

4 – Ice, ice, tempered<\/h5>\n

Science time! Global knives might be made according to centuries-old traditions, but that\u2019s not to say these knives are stuck in the past. Global use state-of-the-art techniques to achieve their sharper-than-sharp finishes. Each blade is made from a totally unique blend of top quality stainless steel and other metals, including molybdenum, vanadium and chromium, which helps resist rust and staining. Each knife is also ice-tempered. During the process of forging each blade, temperatures can reach thousands of degrees. In the process of ice tempering, these superheated blades are exposed to ice-cold temperatures, hardening the blade and ensuring an incredibly sharp cutting edge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n

5 – A slice of life<\/h5>\n

So, what are Global knives like to use? They\u2019re carefully weighted, so chopping and slicing feels effortless \u2013 yet another reason why these knives are so popular with professional chefs and cooks, who spend a lot of their time in the kitchen and need knives that are comfortable to hold for extended periods of time. Global knives are also renowned as some of the sharpest knives around, able to make short work of any kitchen task, so you\u2019ll spend less time chopping and more time enjoying your meals!<\/p>\n

6 – Knives are just the beginning\u2026<\/h5>\n

To keep your Global knives in prime condition, you\u2019re going to need a top quality sharpener. Luckily, Global have plenty\u00a0of sharpeners to choose from, including their clever water sharpeners, classic ceramic sharpeners and even waterstones!
