Global GS-57 Santoku Knife

The hollow-ground edge features small indentations that create air pockets between the blade and the food. This significantly reduces friction and prevents ingredients from sticking to the side of the knife, allowing for smoother, faster slicing.

This is a compact knife designed specifically for agility and smaller tasks like mincing herbs, peeling fruit, or precision dicing. If you are looking to break down large proteins or chop big vegetables like cabbages, you may find a larger 7-inch Santoku or Chef's knife more practical.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher can dull the blade edge and potentially damage the stainless steel finish. We recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying it immediately.

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary steel blend developed by Global that balances high carbon content for edge retention with chromium for rust resistance. It allows the blade to be sharpened to a very fine, acute angle while remaining durable enough for daily use.

While the handle is stainless steel, it features Global's signature dimpled pattern, which is specifically designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip. The lightweight, balanced design also helps you maintain control even during repetitive tasks.
