Different construction though, isn't it. Globals and western knives are one normally type of steel. Japanese (tends) to put a harder piece of metal at the centre, to form the cutting edge, but with softer steel around.
Totally, point still stands the global are a softer steel, so easier to sharpen than a traditional or a modern Japanese knife.
