The first Global knives were designed in 1985 by Komin Yamada, whose remit was to develop a range of knives which was truly new and revolutionary, harnessing the best materials avaliable and the most modern design concepts. Today, the Global factory continue to develop the most technically advanced performance chef's knives in the world. Each knife is carefully weighted to ensure perfect balance in the hand. The smooth contours and seamless construction eliminate food and dirt traps, offering the ultimate in safety and hygiene.
These knives have a high carbon content and are not recommended for dishwasher. Because they are folded steel rather than forged we recommend using a sharpener specifically designed for Global knives, which can be found in the 'Knife Sharpening' section.
Stellar P. Sabatier
Sabatier is a brand name we all know. This range of sabatier knives is classed as one of the better ones on the market. They are fully forged from single billets of stainless steel. The handles are riveted and the bolster gives the knife the perfect weight, balance and safety. According to manufacturers instructions the full range is dishwasher safe but we maintain that any professional kitchen knife should be hand-washed, dried and put away safely. The full range of knives carries a lifetime guarantee.
