Global's innovative Hashira knife block is crafted from maple wood with a sleek, minimalist design that showcases your professional-grade knives. This modern storage solution features specialized slots for up to four knives, while its transparent acrylic, open-frame construction allows for quick knife identification, proper airflow to prevent moisture build-up. Perfect for modern kitchens, the block pairs beautifully with Global’s renowned Japanese stainless-steel knives. Each knife blade is made from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel for incredible strength, durability and performance. The lightweight steel is stain-resistant and holds a lasting edge, even at the ultra-sharp 15° angle used in Japanese cutlery. The ergonomic handles feature Global’s signature dimple pattern for a secure grip and are precisely calibrated to offset the weight of the blade for balance, comfort and control. Additionally, the seamless design is hygienic and easy to maintain.
