Global Takumi Walnut Knife Block 6 Piece

The 6 Piece Walnut Takumi Knife Block set includes Global’s five best-selling knives, all housed on an elegant magnetic storage block.

Each knife in this set has been carefully chosen, allowing you to complete any preparation task in the kitchen with ease. The name Takumi translates to ‘Artisan’ in Japanese, which pays tribute to the skilled workers in the GLOBAL factory that continue to make our knives by hand in the traditional samurai tradition.

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.
