Global Sai-03

As a Japanese knife manufacturer, Yoshikin is committed to the Japanese art of cutlery making. The Global Sai knife series includes kitchen knives in the original Japanese Santoku form. The Santoku knife offered under the name Global Sai Santoku 19 cm Sai-03 features a 19 cm blade length, making it the longer of the two available Santoku knives in the Global Sai Series. The smaller Santoku knife, Sai-M03, has a blade length of 13.5 cm, allowing you to choose your preferred blade length. The term Santoku means "knife of the three virtues," making it suitable for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables. The blade height of 5.0 cm is slightly larger than that of the Global Sai Chef's Knives 19 cm Sai-01 and Sai-02.

The Santoku consists of three layers in total. The two outer layers are a slightly softer stainless steel alloy called Sus 410, which protects the hard Chromova 18 Sanso core with a hardness of 59 degrees Rockwell, making it resistant to external influences.

The handle of the knife is ergonomically shaped, featuring a special grip position for the thumb. The thumb rests gently at the transition between the handle and the blade, ensuring a loose and relaxed grip. Like the classic Global knives, the handle of the Sai Series is filled with fine sand to perfectly balance the knife for comfortable use. The seven dots on the handle represent the seven virtues of the Samurai, honoring their centuries-old tradition of knifemaking.

Another design feature that adds liveliness and modernity is the hammerblow look, which is applied to the knife by hand. This not only enhances its appearance but also serves a practical purpose, comparable to a hollow grinding on other cooking knives.

Due to its exceptional sharpness and perfect handling, this knife is ideal for both professional kitchens and private use.
