Description
The UKON, which means “the union of the traditional and the new,” was designed for smooth, effortless chopping, with an ergonomic textured handle and integrated thumb rest for greater control and comfort. Cromova 18 stainless-steel blades are ice-tempered and hardened to 56-58 on the Rockwell scale and sharpened by both ceramic water sharpener and whetstone. Details like a dual-surface handle, an ambidextrous thumb rest and a thicker blade with a noticeably sharper edge are indications of Ukon’s technical innovation. Like all Global knives, the cutlery offers perfect balance and seamless construction.
The Global Ukon 6” Utility Knife (GUS-24) is a deft medium-sized knife designed for all your in-between tasks. This multi-purpose blade is best suited to prep work like slicing sausage, avocados, and cheeses.

The History of Global
The first GLOBAL knives were designed in 1985 by Komin Yamada whose task was to develop a range of knives which was truly new and revolutionary, harnessing the best materials available and the most modern design concepts. Global knives appeal to the professional and amateur chief alike, are comfortable and easy to handle, and meet the most demanding requirements.
The Finest Materials
GLOBAL knives are made from the finest stainless steel material. The blades utilize CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, 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. Like the Samurai swords before them, each knife is carefully weighted to ensure perfect balance in the hand.
Still Hand-Crafted
From a very modest beginning GLOBAL has developed into one of the success stories of the 1990’s. Still crafted by hand in Yoshikin’s factory in Niigata with the most exacting standards, they are sold in more than 89 countries around the world attracting ever more attention and acclaim. Our design and production team continue to look for ways of expanding and developing our product line.
The Global Acclaim
Formal awards alone can barely act as a testimony to the thousands of delighted GLOBAL customers throughout the world. GLOBAL knives are favoured today by most high-ranking chefs. Our products are used in the most prestigious hotels and restaurants and are featured regularly on television cooking programs in the hands of the most celebrated chefs.
