Global GS-90 Santoku Knife 13cm Fluted

This Global GS-90 13cm Fluted Santoku Knife can be used for a wide range of purposes – chopping, slicing and dicing, including usage for meat, vegetables and fish.

Like a chef’s knife, the santoku is used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. The name Santoku is Japanese for “three virtues”, depending on who you ask, the name refers either to the three types of foods it works well with—vegetables, proteins, and fruit—or for the three types of cuts at which it excels—slicing, dicing, and chopping. The GS-90 Santoku is also available in a larger option, the G-80 Santoku Knife 18cm Fluted.

Global knives are handcrafted by Japanese craftsmen and made to exacting standards from the finest CROMOVA 18 stainless steel. These knives are ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56˚- 58˚. This holds a razor-sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion. The Global Classic collection has remained unchanged since 1985 as a true testament to its quality and unique construction. This original collection designed by Komin Yamada promises durability, quality and timeless design that captures the spirit of Global’s philosophy and insistence on excellence.

GS Series

The GS Series (GLOBAL Small) is a classic collection of small to medium-sized knives for general preparation and precise prep tasks. There is a knife literally for any and every purpose. Many of these knives have multiple size options available and fluted varieties. Made from a 3-piece construction, two identical handle pieces are welded together and polished forming a hollow handle which is then perfectly balanced with the filling of sand. Lastly, the handle is fused to the patented CROMOVA 18 stainless steel blade.
