Global Ukon GUM-10 Vegetable Knife

The Nakiri is a specialized Japanese vegetable knife designed for efficient, uniform chopping. Its straight, flat blade is optimized for a vertical up-and-down cutting motion rather than the rocking motion used with a traditional chef's knife.

The Ukon range features a thicker blade geometry that is 10% sharper out of the box compared to previous collections. It also includes an updated dual-surface handle with an ambidextrous thumb rest for improved grip and control.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the CROMOVA 18 stainless steel and the sharpness of the 15-degree edge, you should hand wash it with mild detergent and dry it immediately after use.

While the blade is sturdy enough to handle some meats, it is specifically designed for vegetables. You should avoid using it on bones, frozen foods, or extremely hard surfaces, as these can chip the high-carbon stainless steel edge.

CROMOVA 18 is Global's proprietary high-carbon stainless steel blend. It is specifically formulated to be hard enough to hold a razor-sharp 15-degree edge for a long time, while remaining resistant to rust, stains, and corrosion.
