Global Sai-M03

The name Santoku comes from Japanese, combining the words "san" (three) and "toku" (virtues), which clearly outlines the purpose of the knife. The knife is suitable for cutting vegetables, fish, and meat. Santoku knives have a distinctive blade shape that is easily recognizable. To complete the Global Sai knife series, Yoshikin has added another Santoku knife, the Global Sai Santoku 13.5 cm Sai-M03, in addition to the larger Santoku kitchen knife Sai-03. Weighing 153 grams, it features the typical Global Sai characteristics of a sand-filled, balanced handle and a special thumb grip position, making it both comfortable and safe to use. The blade length is 13.5 cm.

The Santoku consists of three layers. The two outer layers are made of a slightly softer stainless steel alloy called Sus 410, designed to protect the hard Chromova 18 Sanso core, which has a hardness of 59 degrees Rockwell, making it resistant to external influences. The handle of the Santoku knife is ergonomically shaped and features a special grip position for the thumb, allowing the thumb to rest gently at the transition between the handle and blade, ensuring a loose and relaxed grip.

Like the classic Global knives, the handle of the Sai Series is filled with fine sand to achieve perfect balance and ensure well-balanced work. The seven dots on the handle represent the seven virtues of the Samurai, honoring their centuries-old tradition of knife making. Another design feature that adds liveliness and modernity is the hammerblow look, applied by hand, which not only enhances the knife's appearance but also serves a practical purpose, similar to hollow grinding on other cooking knives. Due to its exceptional sharpness and perfect handling, the knife is ideal for both professional kitchens and private use.
