Global Santuko Knife 18cm Fluted

Global knives are manufactured by Yoshikin in Niigata, Japan from Cromova 18 stainless-steel. The two most innovative features of Global knives are their edge and the way they are balanced. Global knife edges are ground straight to a point rather than beveled, resulting in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer. To balance their knives, Global uses a hollow handle which is then filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance.

This Asian-type knife has a broad blade and very sharp cutting edge. It can be used threefold: for preparing meat, fish and also vegetables. Food sticks less to knives which are fluted due to the air pockets which are created during cutting.

The G-series knives were among the first Japanese knives to be introduced to Western markets and have a devout following of happy customers.
