Global Hollow Ground Santuku knife

Global's award-winning knives are made to the exacting standards of professional Japanese chefs. A versatile knife for chopping and slicing, the santoku combines the benefits of a cleaver and a chef's knife. Indentations on the blade edge reduce drag and minimize sticking. Made in Japan, this knife features a lightweight, ergonomic handle that provides a slip-resistant grip. Stamped blade is made of exceptionally hard Cromova 18 high-carbon stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to resist corrosion. Prominent 1/4" edge is visible to the naked eye and ground straight to a point rather than beveled, resulting in remarkable sharpness and edge retention. Hollow-ground indentations along blade increase efficiency and decrease sticking. Stainless-steel handle is seamlessly constructed and textured for superior grip. Crafted to professional standards, this knife is lightweight yet perfectly balanced. Some wear, shown in photos.
