Collection: Global Knife Block Sets

Hospitality Connect lists 12 items in the Global knife block sets collection: six knife sets and five individual kitchen knives. Named Global sets in the range include Ikasu, Uku, Niigata, Synergy, Hashira, Zeitaku and Kabuto.

A block keeps knives edge-protected and within reach of the board, which suits a chef's own station, a small kitchen or a demonstration bench. Larger production kitchens more often use knife rolls or wall rails so knives move with the cook.

A set costs less per knife and gives a matched handle across the group, which is useful when fitting out from nothing. Buying individually is better when a kitchen already has most of what it needs and wants to replace or add one blade.

Knives should be stored so blades are protected and staff never reach blind into a drawer. A block, a magnetic rail, a knife roll or a blade guard all achieve this. Loose knives in a drawer damage edges and cause avoidable cuts.
