Global 5.25-in. Santoku Knife, Hollow Edge

This smaller, 5.25-in. santoku knife is ideal for mincing herbs, chopping onions or slicing kiwi. The blade of this santoku has a row of indentations that allow food to slide right off when cutting. Loved by professional chefs, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook. The razor sharp blades are forged in Japan from a special stainless steel, which holds its edge longer than any other steel. Global knives are sharpened further up the edge of the blade than German-style knives, creating a straight edge - in fact two or three times more surface area is sharpened on a Global knife. Lightweight in your hand, this santoku knife offers superior control and precision. Inspired by the crafting of ancient samurai swords, each knife is carefully weighted for perfect balance and comfort. The smooth contours and seamless construction prevent food and dirt particles from collecting on the knife.
