Global Is Having a Massive Knife Sale, Chopping $950 off a Block Set
If you’re someone whose love of cooking maybe outweighs the size of your wallet, trying to load up your kitchen with high-grade crookery and appliances can be a bit difficult. However, if you’re patient and willing to do your homework, you can find some great deals on essential kitchen gear.
When it comes to knives, most of us happy to stick with whatever is included in a cheap cutlery set. Which is fine for some, but if you’re someone who seriously loves cooking you know how important it is to have a high-grade knife, or two, or ten.
While some fancy knife brands can set you back a couple hundred dollars for a single blade, there are a few, like Global, that offer high quality cuts at a more reasonable price. Those prices become even more reasonable when they’ve been slashed.
Global Knife (20cm) and Sharpener Starter Set ($119.95, save $159.05)
If you’ve never owned a fancy knife before, this is a good place to start. You’ll get a 20cm chef’s knife, which is a great all-purpose blade, along with a two-stage ceramic water sharpener to maintain it.
You can grab this Global starter set for $119.95 and save yourself almost $160 here.
Global Hiro Knife Block Set ($339, save $616)
If you’ve been looking to grab yourself some high-grade cooking knives, but trying to piece together individual essentials has been a bit tricky or straining on your budget, this might be the deal you’ve been looking for.
This Global knife block set is currently on sale for $339, which is an enormous discount of $616 from its usual $955 price tag. It includes six types of Global knives, all of which are great kitchen essentials.
