Well balanced, sharper than hell, nice grip… a real quality piece!. Stephen. Peace Dale, RI. Sun Dec 10 2023

A knife suited primarily for cutting meat. It can also be used as a multi-purpose knife for fruits and vegetables. This knife is heavier than the G Series model.

This knife is an Asian-inspired primary knife that's ideal for most meal prep. It features an innovative stamped construction, made from a proprietary stainless steel alloy. But the blades have been made thicker, and sport a deeper dual-bevel edge geometry that makes the knife 10% sharper. The blades are also stronger than previous models and have a bit more weight to them. With sand-filled handles, the knife still feels light in use.

The global Sai Chef's Knife performs a wide variety of cutting tasks, from fine chopping to dicing and paper-thin slicing, mincing garlic, dicing celery, slicing tomatoes, and more. Global Sai Knives follow the same tradition as classic global knives. The handle design is entirely new and incorporates an ergonomic thumb rest to ease the cutting motion. The blades are crafted with a 3-layer construction using the special Cromova 18 Sanso material, sandwiched between two layers of softer SUS410 stainless steel material. The blades are honed to a fine edge to give a superb cutting performance which helps to protect the blade against chipping, rusting, and staining. A new hammered finish is applied to the sides of the blade that create air pockets, resulting in a better release of food being cut, giving the blade nonstick properties. Handcrafted in Japan using artisanal techniques with modern technology in the tradition of the samurai sword.
