The Global Takashi G-79668B 8 Piece Knife Block Set will mean you are assured of having the right knife at hand to fulfil your grandest culinary ambitions.

What's more, this exceptional knife set comes complete with a convenient storage solution in the form of a lovely beechwood block.

The word Takashi means ‘esteem and honour’ in Japanese and we are sure you will display this beautiful new knife block with honour!

The beechwood block also provides a softer storage solution for your knives and has the added bonus of containing natural anti-bacterial qualities.

Crafted from high quality Cromova18 stainless steel and ice hardened to Rockwell 56-58, each blade features an acute 15° cutting edge which holds its razor sharp edge for longer, yet is easily sharpened when required.

Hollow handles are filled with sand to provide excellent balance whilst the classic Global dotted handles provide a secure grip (the GSF-22 utility knife and GSF-15 peeling knife have solid handles).

Smooth contours and seamless construction eliminate food or dirt traps, offering the ultimate in safety and hygiene.

Set contains:

GLOBAL G-2 20cm COOK'S KNIFE - this is the best selling Japanese kitchen knife ever made. This multi-purpose knife is ideal for slicing, dicing and chopping and is a winner of multiple awards including Which Best Knife and the Housewares ICON Award.

GLOBAL G-97 20cm BREAD KNIFE - a specialist knife that is primarily used for bread, but can be used on tougher cuts of meat and crackling.

GLOBAL GS-60 15cm UTILITY KNIFE - ideal for slicing, dicing and cutting. The narrow blade of the utility knife also makes it suitable for filleting.

GLOBAL GS-5 14cm VEGETABLE CHOPPER KNIFE - this is a really popular blade which takes its inspiration from Japanese Usuba (vegetable) knives. The flatter part of the blade is designed to chop through vegetables and fruit, coming into full contact with the chopping board to give a clean cut. The curved section at the front of the blade allows the knife to be rocked forward gently after each cut to encourage good technique.

GLOBAL GSF-22 11cm UTILITY KNIFE - a brilliant knife that is robust thanks to being fully forges and lives up to its name. The blade is also long enough to fillet fish or be used as a small carving knife.

GLOBAL GSF-15 8cm PEELING KNIFE - this petty knife is perfect for small kitchen tasks such as peeling, cutting fruit and small delicate kitchen work. Its fully forged blade is tough enough to separate joints of meat.

GLOBAL GKS-210 KITCHEN SHEARS - made from heavy weight cast steel, these distinctive kitchen scissors feel very substantial in the hand. The thick and strong blades feature small teeth to grip chicken fillets and other meats.

GLOBAL BEECHWOOD KNIFE BLOCK - and attractive beechwood knife block to store this great selection of Global knives.

Cleaning Global knives is straightforward and easy - simply wash immediately after use in warm water with a mild detergent. Dry with a soft cloth.
