Refined and Global 4-Piece Steak Knife Set

The slightly curved, ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip and features 7 signature black dots, representing the 7 Samurai codes of honor and moral principles. The patented Cordova 18 core (Chromium, Molybdenum, Vanadium, and Carbon) is given a beautiful hammered finish, creating air pockets that help release food while cutting, resulting in non-stick properties for the blade.

Legendary industrial designer Komin Yamada brings a new era of innovation to Global cutlery with the Sai line, unifying function and design. These distinctive Japanese knives combine revolutionary ergonomic handles with triple-layered steel blades that maintain their exceptionally sharp edges. As the first new cutlery line produced by Global in over 25 years, Sai blends 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, surrounded by two outer layers of more flexible 18/8 steel for added 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 for a smooth, efficient cutting motion and a steady, comfortable grip. Made in Japan.

Global knives from Japan created a sensation when they burst onto the world's culinary stage as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Blades are made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and "face-ground" with a long taper, allowing the edges to remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. Edges are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrive from the factory razor-sharp. Thinner blades result in lighter knives, though Global also offers a "heavyweight" line for cooks who prefer heftier options.

The stainless-steel handles are molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping, making them smaller and easier to grasp than many European-style handles. They are also seamless for improved sanitation. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener, a diamond steel, or a synthetic or ceramic whetstone to maintain the knives, and provides a Sharpening Guide Rail to ensure the proper angle. Global knives should be hand-washed to protect their edges and carry a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage.
