The iconic knife brand Global originated in 1985, when blade visionary Komin Yamada was tasked with developing a range of kitchen knives to appeal to professional and amateur chefs alike. Over the next 35 years, Global would become one of the most iconic and celebrated knife brands in existence, with the legendary black handle dots and trademark CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel making its way to kitchens around the world. The Gs-59 Cook's Knife features a nimble 11cm blade, perfect for intricate cutting tasks and for preparing smaller fruit and vegetables. The fluted blade effect reduces friction between the blade and the food while slicing for quicker, easier food preparation.
