Know before you buy
This set includes a 7 1/2-inch Santoku knife for general chopping, a 6-inch utility knife for versatile prep work, and a 3 1/2-inch paring knife for detailed tasks like peeling or trimming.
CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary stainless steel blend that allows for a much sharper edge and superior resistance to rust and corrosion. It is specifically tempered to a Rockwell hardness of C56-C58, which balances long-lasting edge retention with ease of sharpening.
While the seamless construction makes them hygienic, it is highly recommended to hand wash and dry these knives immediately after use. Dishwashers can dull the sharp edges and potentially damage the steel over time.
Beyond the aesthetic appeal, the hand-hammered finish creates small air pockets between the blade and the food. This helps reduce friction, allowing slices to release more easily from the knife during use.
The Global SAI handles are designed with a unique, ergonomic contour that provides a secure grip. While they are made of stainless steel, the balance and shape are engineered to prevent slipping during standard kitchen tasks.
