Global Knives Global Knives offer perfect balance and innovative design. The most innovative feature of Global knives is the edge. Most Global knives are sharpened to a point rather than beveled. This results in a dramatically sharper knife which also stays sharper longer. This edge is prominent enough to be seen with the naked eye and extends a quarter inch or more up from the tip of the knife. CROMOVA 18 Steel is used in the production of these knives.
