Our verdict

Global's anniversary set gives fans of its all steel knives three useful Japanese style shapes in one package. The metal handles feel different from wood or polymer and can be slippery for some cooks.

Overview

Global builds these anniversary knives from its own CROMOVA stainless steel, ice tempered and formed as single pieces from tip to handle. The set pairs an Asian chef's knife, a Kiritsuke utility knife and a paring knife.

Hard, thin Japanese style blades hold a keen edge, and the seamless steel build leaves no gaps for food to collect. The dimpled metal grip is distinctive, but cooks used to wood handles should try one first.

Who it's for

Home cooks who slice vegetables and fish with precision get three shapes built for clean cuts. Those who chop through bones or prefer weighty bolstered knives should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Hard steel holds an edge
  • Seamless one piece construction
  • Dimpled grip pattern
  • Three versatile shapes
Cons
  • Metal handles can feel slippery
  • No storage block or sheaths listed
  • Care and dishwasher guidance not given

Performance notes

Ice tempering and high hardness let the thin edge stay sharp longer, while the single piece build places balance close to the hand. Thinner blades glide through produce but are not meant for prying or bones.
