Global G14 Yanagi Sashimi Knife 30cm (G14)
Global Knives – Samurai History lives on
The Global sashimi slicer knife is a favourite of sushi chefs for creating wafer thin slices of meat or fish.
With an edge that is superbly sharp and a comfortable handle this Global knife combines to make an ideal sushi knife
For over one thousand years Japan has been a land where steel crafting and sword-making has been steeped into the national consciousness. Global knives follow this Samurai legacy of excellence in steel craftsmanship.
Komin Yamada first designed the Global knives in 1985. His design brief was to produce a range of knives that were to be innovatory in design and to utilise the very best elements of high technology and materials. The Global Knives range had to meet the high standards of both chefs and keen amateur cooks.
The result is the wide range of well-balanced knives available today. A distinguishing feature of Global knives is the edge and the way in which it is sharpened. The edge is ground straight, not bevelled like the majority of western-style knives. This results in a sharper edge that holds its sharpness for an extended period of time.
Global knives have a great balanced feel, this is helped by the hollow handled knives being weighted internally to improve the handling. With no tang and a seamless method of construction, Global knives are sleek in appearance and also very hygienic in use with no dirt traps.
