Global Meat Cleaver

Global knives were first designed in 1985 by visionary industrial designer, Komin Yamada.  Yamada was commissioned to develop a range of kitchen knives that was new and revolutionary, using the best materials available and the latest manufacturing techniques that would appeal to both the professional chef and at-home gourmet cooks.

From its modest inception, Global has developed into one of the most successful brands of professional kitchen knives in the world.  Still crafted by hand in Niigata, Japan, Global knives are manufactured to extremely high and exacting standards.

Also known as a butcher knife, this heavy-duty rectangular knife is used for splitting or cleaving meat and bone. Great for cutting big slices of meat and poultry.
