Global G-4, Classic 7 inch Knife, Stainless Steel Oriental Chef's, 7", Stainles Steel

Description

The slightly longer curved ergonomic handle provides a
comfortable grip and features 7 signature black dots which represent the 7
Samurai codes of honor and moral principles. The beautiful hammered finish
applied to the patented Cordova 18 core (Chromium, Molybdenum, Vanadium and
Carbon) produces air pockets which help release food while cutting, giving the
blade non-stick properties. Legendary industrial designer Komin Yamada brings
a new age of innovation to Global cutlery with Sai, unifying function and
design, these distinctive Japanese knives combine revolutionary ergonomic
handles with triple-layered steel blades that maintain their exceptionally
sharp edges. The first new cutlery line produced by Global in more than 25
years, Sai blends the Japanese company’s tradition of craftsmanship with
modern technological advancements. The knives combine three layers of steel: a
core of patented, ultra-hard Cromova 18 Sanso stainless-steel alloy and two
outer layers of more flexible 18/8 steel for added strength and resistance to
rust. 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. 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 steady, comfortable grip. Made in Japan. High-
tech from tip to handle, 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 rather than a short bevel so edges
remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives.
Edges also are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style
knives and arrive from the factory razor sharp. Although Global also makes a
heavyweight line for cooks who prefer hefty knives, its original knives–of
which this 7-inch Oriental chef’s knife (or santoku) is an example–have
thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. Global
also dispensed with bolsters on its original knives to reduce weight. Global
achieves balance in these knives by injecting a precise amount of sand for a
particular blade style into a hollow handle. To ensure balance is continuous,
the sand flows inside the handle as a cook maneuvers the blade. A finger notch
between blade and handle provides safety. Stainless-steel handles are Global’s
most striking feature. They’re molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist
slipping. Smaller around than many European-style handles, they’re easy for
small-handed cooks to grasp, and the seamless construction between handle and
blade is more sanitary. This knife’s wedge-shaped handle is particularly well
engineered for grasping securely with a relaxed hand. Global recommends using
a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steel for
its knives, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a
Shinkansen Sharpener. Global also makes a sharpening guide set so blades can
be honed on a whetstone at the proper angle. Global knives should be hand
washed to protect edges. They carry a lifetime warranty against defects and
breakage. –Fred Brack
