Compact Precision for Everyday Cooking.
The Global SAI-M01 Cook’s Knife combines the versatility of a traditional chef’s knife with the agility of a smaller blade, making it an outstanding choice for cooks who prefer greater control without sacrificing performance. Its 14cm blade is perfectly suited to chopping, slicing, dicing and mincing, offering exceptional manoeuvrability for everyday meal preparation and precision cutting tasks.
Smaller than the 19cm and 25cm SAI cook’s knives, the SAI-M01 is ideal for preparing fruit, vegetables, herbs and smaller cuts of meat. Its lighter weight and compact profile make it especially comfortable for cooks with smaller hands or anyone who prefers a nimble knife for extended food preparation. The elegant hammered blade also creates small air pockets that help reduce food sticking, allowing ingredients to release more easily as you cut.
Designed by renowned industrial designer Komin Yamada, the Global SAI collection represents the pinnacle of Global’s Japanese craftsmanship. Each blade features a sophisticated three-layer construction with a hard CROMOVA 18 SANSO stainless steel core protected by softer SUS410 stainless steel outer layers, delivering outstanding edge retention, durability and corrosion resistance. Combined with the hand mirror-polished 12.5-degree cutting edge and ergonomic hollow handle with integrated thumb rest, the SAI-M01 offers exceptional comfort, balance and cutting performance.
