JAPANESE GLOBAL SAI 15cm VEGETABLE KNIFE CROMOVA 18 SANSO **BINB** IKASU 79812

Global SAI knives  follow in the same tradition as Classic Global knives and are made in  the same fashion by skilled Japanese craftsmen in Yoshikin's factory.  All of our experience in manufacturing hollow Stainless Steel handles  and modern blade technology having been embodied in them. Global SAI  knives, like the originals, have been designed by Komen Yamada, calling  upon his 25 years of experience and know-how.

The handle design  is entirely new and incorporates an ergonomic thumb-rest to ease the  cutting motion. The blades are crafted from special Cromova 18 Sanso  material, comprising three layers of Stainless Steel. The central layer  with cutting edge is of Cromova 18 Stainless Steel, hardened to Rockwell 58-59 degrees and honed to a fine edge to give awesome cutting  performances. This is sandwiched between two layers of softer SUS410  Stainless Steel material, which helps to protect the blade against  chipping, rusting and staining.
A new, hammered finish is applied to  the sides of the blade. This is not purely decorative. The air pockets  resulting from this; result in a better release of food being cut,  giving the blade non-stick properties.
