Global Classic Santoku Knife

The hollow ground edge features small indentations along the blade that create air pockets between the steel and the food. This design significantly reduces friction and prevents ingredients from sticking to the knife while you chop or slice.

Global knives are intentionally lighter and thinner than traditional Western-style knives. The handle is filled with sand to provide a precise, balanced feel that reduces wrist fatigue during extended prep sessions.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. High heat and harsh detergents can damage the edge and the handle finish, so we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use to maintain its performance.

A 17-degree bevel is sharper than the typical 20- to 25-degree angles found on many Western knives. This steeper angle allows for cleaner, more precise cuts, making it ideal for delicate tasks like mincing herbs or slicing vegetables.

No, this Santoku is designed for precision tasks like slicing, dicing, and mincing. The thin, sharp blade is not intended for cutting through bone, frozen foods, or hard shells, which could cause the edge to chip.
