More about GLOBAL from Wikipedia:

“Global (often written in all capitalized letters as “GLOBAL”) is a brand of cutlery products made by Yoshikin of Japan. Their selection of knives are known for their distinctive one piece, molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel design.

Global was founded by Minoru Tsuchida in Japan in 1985.

Compared to conventional European knives such as J. A. Henckels or Wusthof, Global knives are made from a significantly harder alloy of steel, use a thinner blade thickness, and are sharpened to a narrower angle. This produces an extremely sharp knife which keeps its edge longer and allows for more accurate work, but takes longer to sharpen when it becomes dull. Because of this, the manufacturer recommends using whetstones and ceramic sharpening rods as opposed to the European sharpening steel. Global knives are renowned for their surprisingly light weight and balance.

Global knives have a distinctive appearance with black dimples present on the handle and on one model of their storage block.

Over the past decade the Global line has rapidly introduced many new highly specialized knife designs, including a tomato knife and a crab/lobster knife. They also make eating utensils.

In 2006, the G Series knives was placed #46 on the Japanesque Modern Committee listing.”
