Refined and Global Oriental Chef's Knife

The revised content is as follows:

The ergonomic handle with a subtle curve provides a comfortable grip, featuring 7 distinctive black dots that represent the 7 Samurai codes of honor and moral principles. The patented Cordova 18 core (Chromium, Molybdenum, Vanadium, and Carbon) features a beautiful hammered finish that creates air pockets, allowing the blade to glide through food without sticking and imparting non-stick properties.

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 from 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 sandwiched between two outer layers of more flexible 18/8 steel, providing 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 effortlessly cut through food.

The 12.5-degree blade edge is mirror-polished by hand for exceptionally long-lasting sharpness. The perfectly balanced handle features an ergonomic thumb rest, ensuring a smooth and efficient cutting motion with a steady, comfortable grip. Manufactured in Japan, these high-tech knives from Global have captivated the culinary world as a modern alternative to traditional European-style cutlery.

Global knives are renowned for their blades made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, "face-ground" with a long taper to retain sharpness longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. The edges are also ground at a more acute angle, arriving razor-sharp from the factory. While Global offers a heavyweight line, their original knives, such as this 7-inch Oriental chef's knife (or santoku), feature thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. To achieve balance, Global injects a precise amount of sand into the hollow handle, allowing the sand to flow as the cook maneuvers the blade.

The stainless-steel handles are molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping, making them easy for small-handed cooks to grasp. The seamless construction between the handle and blade is also more sanitary. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener, diamond steel, or whetstone to maintain the knives, which should be hand-washed to protect the edges. These knives carry a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage.
