Features

  • 7 1/2" Santoku Knife is an alternative to a Chef's Knife for cutting, chopping and mincing vegetables
  • Every GLOBAL SAI blade is made of the finest stainless steel, Cordova 18, designed exclusively for GLOBAL
  • Tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56 Degree-C58 Degree, SAI blades hold their razor sharp edges longer than other steel and resist rust, stains and corrosion
  • Lightweight and balanced for easy handling in the kitchen
  • Smooth contours and seamless construction eliminate food and dirt traps

Description

The slightly longer curved ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip and features 7 signature black dots which represent the 7 Samurai codes of honor and moral principles. The beautiful hammered finish applied to the patented Cordova 18 core (Chromium, Molybdenum, Vanadium and Carbon) produces air pockets which help release food while cutting, giving the blade non-stick properties. Legendary industrial designer Komin Yamada brings a new age of innovation to Global cutlery with Sai, unifying function and design, these distinctive Japanese knives combine revolutionary ergonomic handles with triple-layered steel blades that maintain their exceptionally sharp edges. The first new cutlery line produced by Global in more than 25 years, Sai blends the Japanese company's tradition of craftsmanship with modern technological advancements. The knives combine three layers of steel: a core of patented, ultra-hard Cromova 18 Sanso stainless-steel alloy and two outer layers of more flexible 18/8 steel for added strength and resistance to rust. Professional- quality blades are ice-hardened and tempered to increase hardness, resist corrosion and maintain long-lasting sharpness. Each blade is hand-hammered to create hollow air pockets that reduce drag, allowing the blade to glide through food without sticking. 12.5-degree blade edge is mirror-polished by hand for exceptionally long-lasting sharpness. The perfectly balanced handle has an ergonomic thumb rest for a smooth, efficient cutting motion and steady, comfortable grip. Made in Japan.

    • If I could only have 1 knife
Size: 7.5" Color: Silver
I am a chef’s knife person and have so many Japanese and German 9-10 inch knives. I bought this knife (7.5 in) as a concession to my wife who prefers Santokus and within days this became my go to knife. That was 5 years ago and I’ve never found another knife so balanced and capable. Lots of amazing knives out there, plenty sharp, plenty strong, but this one has a magic FEEL. ... show more

    • Been looking for this knife my whole life
Size: 7.5" Color: Silver
I am a competent home cook, but have struggled to find a truly sharp knife with great balance. I've worked through all the famous German brands, but nothing was better than "very good." This knife is the one! It is extremely sharp - I could shave with it, and that is no exaggeration. It is very well balanced. Some reviews say it is too light - it is not, the balance makes it seem lighter than it is. Some reviews say it is for smaller hands - I am a 6 foot man and it is not close to being too small. And, not the most important thing, but it is just beautiful. Don't compromise - this should be a lifetime investment if well cared for. ... show more

    • Feels great in your hand
Size: 7.5" Color: Silver
Love the knife very sharp. Unfortunately it has a discolouration that seems to be a form of rust. I hand wash it within minutes of use every time

    • Excellent & very sharp!
Size: 5" Color: Silver
My first Global knife was a gift and I loved it so much I bought a complete set of seven other knives. I also bought a set for a thank you gift.

    • Super well balanced especially if you have large hands
Size: 5" Color: Silver
I have fat fingers which when using a regular knife my fingers will hit the chopping board before the back end of the knife finishes cutting. That made me just squeeze the top of the knifes handle. With this design I can now fully grip the knife with my fingers going all the way around the handle. This is great when chopping hard vegetable like Carrots, Cucumbers, Fresh Garlic, etc. I can now really control the knife from flipping side to side when cutting then slices. So yea basically. I love this knife it is absolutely my goto knife for anything except cutting large meats where then I use my Global Chef knife. Together I feel like a real Chef in my kitchen. ... show more

This is a beautifully made knife. Sharp as a razor and I can't wait to start cutting with it when I'm cooking.

    • I love it!
Size: 5" Color: Silver
Knives are very personal things. They have to feel right in your hand, be comfortable to hold, and be well balanced. And, of course, it has to be sharp and cut well. I took a class at William-Sonoma and had a chance to try this knife out. Went home afterward and got right on amazon. Very pleased with my purchase! ... show more
