Global's award-winning knives are made to the exacting standards of professional Japanese chefs, who prize their perfect balance, light weight and seamless construction. To celebrate their 40th anniversary, Global is offering a limited-edition set – an Asian chef's knife, Kiritsuke, paring knife and shears – four everyday essentials for chopping and dicing, paring and slicing, along with a stainless-steel storage block. Each knife is made from Cromova stainless steel in a process borrowed from the ancient art of samurai sword making.

• Limited edition set in honor of Global's 40th anniversary.
• Stamped blades are made from exceptionally hard Cromova 18 high-carbon stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to resist corrosion.
• Prominent 1/4"-edges are visible to the naked eye and ground straight to a point rather than beveled, resulting in impressive sharpness and edge retention.
• Stainless-steel handles are seamlessly constructed and textured for a good grip.
• Crafted to professional standards, these knives are lightweight yet perfectly balanced.
• Etched with Global's 40th anniversary logo.

Set includes:

• 7" Asian chef's knife
• 6" Kiritsuke knife
• 4 1/2" paring knife
• Kitchen shears
• Stainless-steel storage block
