Precision and Flexibility in Perfect Balance.
The Global SAI-M05 Flexible Utility Knife is a highly versatile knife designed for the detailed cutting tasks that demand exceptional control. Its slim, flexible 17cm blade is ideal for slicing, trimming, boning, skinning and filleting, making it an excellent choice for preparing fish, poultry, smaller cuts of meat and delicate fruit.
The gentle flexibility of the blade allows it to follow the natural contours of bones and joints with ease, making boning and skinning cleaner and more precise. Its narrow profile also makes it the closest equivalent to a dedicated filleting knife within the Global SAI collection, while remaining versatile enough for everyday slicing and preparation tasks around the kitchen.
Designed by renowned industrial designer Komin Yamada, the Global SAI collection represents the pinnacle of Global’s Japanese knife craftsmanship. Each blade features an advanced three-layer construction with a hard CROMOVA 18 SANSO stainless steel core protected by softer SUS410 stainless steel outer layers for exceptional edge retention, durability and corrosion resistance. The elegant hand-hammered finish creates air pockets that help reduce food sticking, while the ergonomic hollow handle with integrated thumb rest delivers outstanding balance and comfort during intricate cutting work.
