Modern chefs receive knives with optimal usability characteristics, becoming a huge asset during their work. Global knives are lightweight and perfectly balanced, reducing fatigue during extended periods of kitchen work. Thanks to their seamless construction, Global knives are exceptionally hygienic and easy to maintain cleanliness. History of SAI Knives Komin Yamada designed GLOBAL knives, which took the world by storm and became classics for professional chefs and gastronomes. Global knives are the first kitchen knives in history to integrate the blade with the handle. The knife blades are crafted from three layers of CROMOVA 18 SANSO stainless steel (18% chromium) with a hardness of 58-59 HR. The core is surrounded by two layers of soft stainless steel SUS410, making the blade more durable and resistant to cracks, discoloration, and corrosion. The spine of the blade is slightly rounded to increase hand comfort. The new ergonomic handles are perfectly balanced, and the innovative thumb recess provides better control over the knife and comfort during work. Each knife is hand-polished and adorned with seven "dots" (indentations), symbolizing the samurai code of honor.
