Global G48 7-Inch Hollow-Ground Santoku: The Stainless Steel Wonder

Sushi Jo | April 11, 2011 | 0 Comments

A santoku knife is a multi-purpose kitchen knife originally from Japan. As a versatile tool, its cleaver and chef’s knife features enables it to do three things well – chopping, slicing and dicing. With all these tasks, it’s important to use something you can truly depend on, Global knives.

Global G48 7-Inch Hollow-Ground Santoku exploded into the cooking scene when it was released. It’s a refreshing change from traditional European-type knives some have grown accustomed to. In comparison to the aforementioned, this product:

Has thinner blades and weigh less
Has smaller handles
Is ground at a more acute angle (sharpened by hand at 15%)

The Secret

The fascinating thing about this knife is the indentation. The indentations or depressions that run along the blade of this santoku knife helps lessen the drag and reduce sticking. Hence, faster prep times and better food integrity!

Reviews

The edge this holds is phenomenal. It requires a touch up in the sharpener far less often and, after weeks at a time of heavy use, it still out-performs anything else freshly sharpened.

The knife may have some additional desires, but overall, it’s the best set you can sink your teeth into…

I love the grip. I love how it feels – and it slices/chops/dices like a DREAM.
