Product Description
The relatively small Global 5 ¼” Santoku (which means having 3 “values” or purposes) might just be that one knife you were missing. Razor sharp and very comfortable in the hand, it’s a great all-around knife for cutting, shaping and dicing small fruits and vegetables.
One of the two most important features of any knife is its edge (the other being how it feels in your hand), and the Global edge is truly its signature. The majority of Global knives are ground on both sides of the blade like western style knives. However, their edges are ground straight to a point rather than beveled, resulting in a dramatically sharper knife that stays sharper longer. These lightweight, amazingly responsive, and what seems like always sharp knives make Global the real deal in professional and home kitchens.
