Global GS-37 Fluted Santoku, 5-inch

Hollow ground for easier, quicker food release, the Global 5-inch Fluted Santoku knife smoothly slices, cubes and dices vegetables, meats and fish. Santoku means "three virtues" and refers to hollow ground santoku knife's three kitchen prep styles: chopping, slicing and mincing. Custom balanced to limit hand fatigue and ensure precise control, this Asian version of a chef's knife resembles a narrow-bladed cleaver with a straight edge. The stick-resistant santoku is thinly ground to a point rather than beveled to stay exceptionally sharp longer than traditional stainless steel knives. Forged of the finest-grade stainless steel (chromium, molybdenum and vanadium) for razor-sharp, even cutting, the proprietary stainless steel is ice-tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58 degrees. Global kitchen knives are handcrafted with the exacting standards and traditions of authentic Japanese cutlery and the Samurai sword.

This lightweight Japanese knife is highly resistant to stains, rust and corrosion and unparalleled for lifetime longevity and performance. Ergonomic trademark-dimpled handle with a thumb rest offers a safe nonslip grip. Hand wash. Global kitchen knives are well-known in culinary circles for exceptional function and design.
