Global 5 Piece Magnetic Bar Knife Set

Build the foundation of a world-class knife collection with the Global 5 Piece Magnetic Bar Knife Set. Combining four of Global's most essential and beloved knife models with a wall-mounted magnetic bar for safe, accessible storage, this set gives you everything you need to handle the full spectrum of kitchen cutting tasks — from breaking down a whole chicken to hulling strawberries — with the precision, balance, and razor-sharp performance that has made Global the knife of choice for professional chefs and serious home cooks around the world since 1985.

Global knives are manufactured entirely in Japan and are distinguished by three defining characteristics that no other major knife brand replicates in combination: a proprietary steel alloy, a unique construction method, and a seamless single-material design that eliminates the hygienic weak points found in traditional handle-and-blade construction. Every knife in this set is an expression of that philosophy — engineered without compromise, from the molecular level of the steel to the ergonomic geometry of the handle.

The Steel. The Balance. The Edge. Nothing Else Like It.

The blades are forged from CROMOVA 18 — a proprietary stainless steel alloy of Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium developed exclusively for Global — then ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-C58, a hardness level that allows the blade to hold a razor-sharp edge significantly longer than standard stainless steel knives. The unique convex edge geometry — rather than the flat or hollow grind of most Western knives — makes every cut smoother and more efficient, requiring less force and delivering cleaner results through every ingredient.

The hollow stainless steel handles are filled with sand to achieve the precise weight needed for perfect balance between blade and handle — delivering optimal control during every cutting motion without the hand fatigue that comes from fighting an unbalanced knife. The signature dimple pattern on the handle provides a secure, slip-resistant grip even when hands are wet or greasy. The included magnetic bar keeps all four knives safely stored, blade-edge protected, and always within reach on the kitchen wall. Hand wash recommended. Made in Japan.

• CROMOVA 18 Proprietary Steel — Ice Tempered to Rockwell C56-C58 for an Edge That Lasts: Every blade is forged from CROMOVA 18 — Global's proprietary Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium stainless steel alloy developed exclusively for Global — then ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-C58 for a razor-sharp edge that holds its performance significantly longer than standard stainless steel knife blades.
• Unique Convex Edge Geometry for Smoother, More Efficient Cuts: The distinctive convex edge — in contrast to the flat or hollow grind found on most Western knives — makes every cut cleaner and more efficient, requiring less force and delivering smoother results through every ingredient from the first stroke to the last, reducing hand and wrist fatigue during extended prep sessions.
• Sand-Filled Hollow Handles for Perfect Balance & Signature Dimple Grip: Hollow stainless steel handles are precision-filled with sand to achieve the ideal weight for perfect balance between blade and handle, delivering optimal control during every cutting motion. The signature dimple pattern on the handle provides a secure, slip-resistant grip even when hands are wet, greasy, or fatigued.
• Seamless Single-Material Construction — Hygienic, Durable & Made in Japan: The seamless single-piece stainless steel construction — blade and handle forged as one continuous unit — eliminates the crevices, seams, and rivets where bacteria accumulate in traditional handle-and-blade knives, delivering superior hygiene and structural integrity. Made entirely in Japan. Hand wash recommended.
