PSA: Save Up to $300 on Our Favorite Japanese-Made Knives from Global Right Now

Having good knives is just as important as having a kitchen itself. It's very rare you’ll be able to make a recipe without one — let alone prep your afternoon snack. Here at Food & Wine, we know how important knives  are, which is why we’ve done copious amounts of testing to find the best options. And during our research, few brands have stuck out as much as Global. 

We absolutely love the unique design of Global’s classic knives. With the perfect blend of sleek and sharp, they’ll chop, slice, dice, and mince everything you throw at them. Not only that, but, their unique construction makes them some of the most lightweight knives we’ve tested, too. They’re not typically on sale, though you’ll find heaps of single knives and bundles heavily discounted at Williams Sonoma right now, waiting to be added to your cart. Shop the eight best deals now, with discounts up to 46% off.

Classic 6-Inch Chef's Knife

Global’s chef’s knife ranked high in our search for the best options on the market. It stood out most for its lightweight design, as it is made with one single piece of high carbon steel for both the blade and the handle, giving it less material for a more ergonomic, feathery-light feel. Because of that, we think this knife will be best for folks that feel fatigued using a heavier knife. It’s razor sharp, and made it easy to slice thin pieces of tomato in our tests. Right now, the 6-inch knife is on sale for 33% off, making it a great time to grab this everyday staple. 

Classic Hollow-Ground 7-Inch Vegetable Knife

When it comes to cutting vegetables, having the right knife can make all the difference. Something too small can make cutting cumbersome produce feel clunky, and something too big can be tough to balance. This 7-inch Global nakiri knife is just the right size and shape, which is why it made our best vegetable knife buying guide. It has a wider surface than a chef’s knife, with a straight square-like shape. This makes it easy to chop, slice, and dice your way through every vegetable with ease. Because it's still slightly curved, you’ll be able to rock the edge like a chef’s knife too. It’s an excellent addition to any knife collection, especially with the rare discount. 

7-Piece Classic Takashi Wood Knife Block Set

For folks looking for a full set, this is our top pick. While it ranked as our favorite pick for a set with a modern look, thanks to its sleek all-steel design, these knives’ performance is just as note-worthy. They’re made the exact same way as the other two favorites above, with a single piece of high-carbon steel for a lightweight design. The blades are nice and sharp and easy to hold, in fact the chef’s knife in the set was the sharpest knife we’d tried among all of the different candidates. This set is nice and well rounded, including a bamboo block, a peeling knife, a utility knife, a vegetable knife, a chef’s knife, a bread knife, and a honing rod. It’s $200 off right now, so don’t wait too long to pick it up. 

10-Piece Classic Takashi Wood Knife Block Set

While we love the seven-piece set, it's hard to pass up the opportunity to collect even more knife essentials with this on-sale 10-piece option. This set comes with everyday essentials, including a santoku paring knife, a utility knife, a chef’s knife, a bread knife, a honing rod, and a pair of kitchen shears. It also includes some specialty pieces too, like a peeling knife, a vegetable knife, and a boning knife. All combined, it's got every kitchen prep task covered. Store it in the block for easy countertop access.
