Premium Performance Inspired by the Samurai.
The Global SAI-01 19cm Cook’s Knife is the flagship chef’s knife in the Global SAI collection, designed for cooks who demand exceptional precision and performance. Equally at home chopping vegetables, slicing meat, mincing herbs or tackling everyday preparation, this versatile knife offers the perfect balance of agility and cutting power, making it an outstanding all-round kitchen companion.
Inspired by the Japanese tradition of Samurai sword making and designed by renowned industrial designer Komin Yamada, the SAI collection represents Global’s premium evolution after more than 25 years of refining its iconic knife designs. The blade features an advanced three-layer construction, with a hard CROMOVA 18 SANSO stainless steel core protected by two outer layers of softer SUS410 stainless steel. This construction delivers remarkable edge retention while improving durability and resistance to chipping, rust and stains.
The hand-hammered finish isn’t simply a striking design feature. The small hollows create air pockets that help reduce food sticking to the blade, making slicing smoother and more efficient. Finished with a hand-mirror-polished 12.5-degree cutting edge and an ergonomically shaped, sand-filled handle featuring Global SAI’s signature seven black dots representing the seven virtues of the Samurai, the SAI-01 delivers exceptional comfort, balance and control with every cut.
