GLOBAL CAMP Black Series Release Announcement
Thank you for visiting YOSHIKIN website.
On Friday, July 19, 2024, we will release the new color “GLOBAL CAMP Black series” from “GLOBAL CAMP” only at our direct-operated stores (YOSHIKIN SHOP Roppongi, Official Online Store*).
*Shipping is limited to domestic address in Japan.
The newly added GLOBAL CAMP Black series has two types; Utility Knife and Serrated Knife, that is unified in high brightness black color from the blade to the handle. The shape is the same with original GLOBAL CAMP series, but while retaining the ease of use and beauty of all stainless steel, the robust and solid impression that comes from black color will make your outdoor cooking experience even more special.
As the manufacturer developing the GLOBAL knife brand, we have always valued the natural shine of the silver color from well-polished stainless steel. However, now we are pursuing the possibility of new designs by adopting coloration on the blades.
Special feature of GLOBAL CAMP Black series
GLOBAL CAMP Black series knives use a processing technique called “oxidation coloring” to change the thickness of the stainless steel’s passive film, giving itself the black color.
The color produced by oxidation coloring has the characteristic of subtly changing depending on the condition of the stainless steel material and the viewing angle. Not just this each knife’s individuality fosters a sense of personal attachment, this technique also enhances weather and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use.
In addition, this dyeing process is done without using paints or coloring agents. Since oxidation coloring is used in medical settings where safety for the human body is required, it is safe to use for cooking. Furthermore, it is environmentally friendly because it can be recycled, like other stainless steel products.

[Quantity Limited] Free mini cutting board (not for sale) for purchasing GLOBAL CAMP Black series!
To commemorate this new release, there will be a present of limited black edition mini cutting board (not for sale) for customers who purchase GLOBAL CAMP Black series.
This cutting board is made of chestnut wood, which is durable and water-resistant. The distinctive black color is achieved by utilizing the property of tannin in chestnut wood, which reacts with iron and water to turn black. It is dyed by soaking the cutting board wood and the offcuts of knives punched out by a press into the water, without using any coloring agents.
It is compact and easy to carry, making it perfect for the outdoors. The round hole is for a hook, and there is a groove to temporarily place the knife for safety.
Precaution
It may cause color transfer when used for the first time. Please wash with water and wipe with paper towel before use to avoid color transfer.
When drying this mini cutting board, lean it against a wall or similar surface, dry it in the shade, and avoid direct wind. It may warp if placed flat during drying. If it warps, wet both sides with water again, let it absorb the water, and lean it against a wall to return to its original shape.
*This cutting board is not for sale.
*NOTICE
There will be a sufficient number of preparations of this mini cutting board; however, there may be a possibility of it being out of stock at YOSHIKIN SHOP Roppongi due to delivery schedules. In such a case, the gift may be changed to a different one.
