Global Professional Sashimi Knife

The 12-inch length is specifically designed to allow you to slice through fish fillets in a single, continuous pulling motion. This technique, known as hiki kiri, ensures a clean, smooth cut that preserves the texture and integrity of delicate sashimi.

Unlike traditional knives that feature a beveled edge, Global blades are ground straight to a point. This design creates a significantly sharper edge that stays keen for longer, allowing for more precise, effortless slicing.

The sand-filled hollow handle allows for precise weight distribution and balance, which is essential for the controlled pulling motion used in sashimi preparation. This construction also removes the bulk of a bolster, making it easier to sharpen the entire length of the blade.

Not at all. CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary steel that offers an ideal balance between hardness and ease of sharpening. Its high chromium content also provides excellent stain resistance, making it a practical choice for professional and home kitchens alike.

While it excels at sashimi, this knife is a specialized tool. It is best reserved for slicing boneless proteins and delicate tasks where a long, straight, and sharp edge is required, rather than general-purpose kitchen work like chopping vegetables.
