Refined and Global 4-Inch Santoku Paring Knife

The ergonomic handle of the knife is slightly curved and longer, providing a comfortable grip. It features 7 signature black dots that represent the 7 Samurai codes of honor and moral principles. The patented Cordova 18 core (Chromium, Molybdenum, Vanadium, and Carbon) has a beautiful hammered finish, which creates air pockets that help release food while cutting, giving the blade non-stick properties.

Legendary industrial designer Komin Yamada has brought a new age of innovation to Global cutlery with the Sai line. These distinctive Japanese knives combine revolutionary ergonomic handles with triple-layered steel blades that maintain their exceptionally sharp edges. The Sai is the first new cutlery line produced by Global in more than 25 years, blending the company's tradition of craftsmanship with modern technological advancements.

The knives feature a core of patented, ultra-hard Cromova 18 Sanso stainless-steel alloy, sandwiched between two outer layers of more flexible 18/8 steel, adding strength and resistance to rust. The professional-quality blades are ice-hardened and tempered to increase hardness, resist corrosion, and maintain long-lasting sharpness. Each blade is hand-hammered to create hollow air pockets that reduce drag, allowing the blade to glide through food without sticking. The 12.5-degree blade edge is mirror-polished by hand for exceptionally long-lasting sharpness.

The perfectly balanced handle has an ergonomic thumb rest, providing a smooth, efficient cutting motion and a steady, comfortable grip. The 4-inch santoku paring knife has a seamless, hygienic construction with smooth contours, made entirely of high-carbon, Cromova 18 stainless steel. The thin, straight, and prominent edge is hand-sharpened at a 15-degree angle, with a bolster-free design. The non-slip, hollow handle is filled with sand, ensuring perfect balance. The knife is hand-wash only and covered by a limited lifetime warranty, made in Japan.
