The appointment will see the Los Angeles-based company distribute not only the signature classic GLOBAL knives but also market the Mino Sharp group of cutlery sharpeners together with the more traditional Bunmei Japanese knives.

“Changes in the way we distribute and serve our customers need to be made as we prepare to launch our latest GLOBAL addition – GLOBAL SAI,” said Mr. Mino Tsuchida, President of Master Cutlery.

GLOBAL SAI is the next generation of GLOBAL innovation and will feature CROMOVA 18 SANSO steel consisting of 3-ply blade material with CROMOVA 18 at the center core, which is then sandwiched on either side by a softer SUS-410 stainless steel. The center blade boasts a Rockwell hardness of 58-59 degrees. To set the design as distinctive and functional, Yoshikin’s head designer, Komin Yamada, has called upon his 25 years of knife craftsmanship to deliver a stunning new design that incorporates an ergonomic thumb rest to ease the cutting motion along with a hammered finish known as Tsuchime on the blades. GLOBAL SAI will be available by the end of this year.
