The GLOBAL IKASU X 10 Piece is the largest knife block set that includes all GLOBAL’s top-selling and favourite knives across all sizes and styles.
The name IKASU® translates to “attractive” or “cool” in Japanese, and we feel this name is fitting for such a stylish and popular knife block set. This Ikasu bamboo block stores all these knives safely while the clear acrylic window displays your knives proudly in the kitchen while also letting you see exactly which knife you are grabbing.
Global knives are handcrafted by Japanese craftsmen and made to exacting standards from the finest CROMOVA 18 stainless steel material. These knives are ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56˚- 58˚ which holds a razor-sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion. The Global Classic collection has remained unchanged since 1985 as a true testament to its quality and unique construction. This original collection designed by Komin Yamada promises durability, quality and timeless design that captures the spirit of Global’s philosophy and insistence on excellence.
