NI is Japanese for the number two and as the name suggests, is the second generation of the iconic GLOBAL design. The NI collection features a thicker blade design for increased durability and a longer handle than the original Classic collection. Each knife includes a distinctive oriental tip and fluted blade which gives the knife non-stick properties. Designed by the creative visionary Komin Yamada, this collection is already being hailed by experts as some of the best professional kitchen knives on the market.
