Global G-804690 3-Piece Santoku Knife Set

A set perfect for Asian meal prep

Global knives are handcrafted by Japanese craftsmen and made to exacting standards from the finest CROMOVA 18 stainless steel. These knives are ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56˚- 58˚. This holds a razor-sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion. The Global Classic collection has remained unchanged since 1985 as a true testament to its quality and unique construction. This original collection designed by Komin Yamada promises durability, quality and timeless design that captures the spirit of Global’s philosophy and insistence on excellence.

The Global Fluted G-80 18cm Santoku Knife & the Global GS-90 13cm Fluted Santoku Knife are all-purpose knives.

They can be used for a wide range of purposes – chopping, slicing and dicing, including usage for meat, vegetables and fish. Like a chef’s knife, the santoku is used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. The name Santoku is Japanese for “three virtues”, depending on who you ask, the name refers either to the three types of foods it works well with—vegetables, proteins, and fruit—or for the three types of cuts at which it excels—slicing, dicing, and chopping. Fluted blades introduce air pockets helping food not to stick to the blade. Also called Granton edge or hollow edge. (This model is the updated G-48). The G-80 Santoku is also available in a non-fluted option, the G-46 Santoku Knife 18cm.

The Global GSF-46 8cm Paring Knife excels at paring, peeling, coring, cleaning and slicing small fruits & veges.

Perfect knife to devein shrimp, and for removing seeds from chilli peppers and skinning or cutting small garnishes
