GLOBAL Japanese Sai Chef Knife Saı-01 (Yoshikin)

Global Japanese Sai Chef Knife SAI-01 (Yoshikin)

The Global Sai Chef's Knife handles a wide range of cutting tasks, from finely chopping to dicing and slicing paper-thin, to mincing garlic, dicing celery, slicing tomatoes and more. Global Sai Knives follow the same tradition as the Classic Global Knives, which are likewise made by skilled Japanese craftsmen in Yoshikin's factory in Japan. The handle design is completely new and an ergonomic thumb rest has been added to facilitate the cutting movement. The blades are manufactured with a 3-layer construction using special Cromova 18 Sanso stainless steel sandwiched between two layers of SUS410 stainless steel material. The blades are sharpened to a fine cutting edge to provide superior cutting performance which helps protect the blade from chipping, rusting and staining. The edges of the blade have a hammered surface that creates air pockets, providing better release of the cut food and giving the blade non-stick properties. It is handcrafted in Japan, following the samurai sword tradition, using modern technology and artisan techniques.

Spherical blades include two innovative features: their cutting edges and the way they are balanced. The most important detail of any knife is its cutting edge, and the sharpness of Global knives is truly its signature. Global blades are sharply sharpened or ground to a point and at an acute angle while resisting rust, stains and corrosion. The straight edge is complemented by a significantly sharper blade that stays sharp longer. The blade of the globular blade is so large and prominent that it is easily visible to the naked eye and extends a quarter of an inch or more above the tip of the blade.

From its humble beginnings, Global has become one of the world's most successful professional kitchen knife brands. Still handcrafted at Yoshikin's factory in Niigata, Japan, Global knives are manufactured to extremely high and exacting standards. Global has received critical acclaim and numerous awards over the years. A thousand years ago, Japanese swordsmiths honed the high art of sword making to produce strong, sharp blades for the Samurai, feared warriors. Like the samurai swords before them, each blade is carefully weighed to ensure perfect balance in the hand. Global knives are handcrafted in Japan using the same traditions and developed using the best raw materials available.
