This complete knife block with 6 Global Sai knives will surprise you with its exceptional quality and elegant design. Legendary industrial designer Komin Yamada brings a new era of innovation to the Global line with Sai Series knives: individually hand hammered knives with a unique character. Combining function and design, these distinctive Japanese knives combine an ergonomic handle with a triple-layered steel blade, whose sharp edge is ideal for a wide variety of daily kitchen tasks, including chopping, dicing, cutting and slicing . The knives with three layers of steel, have a core in patented and ultra-hard Cromova 18 Sanso stainless steel alloy and two outer layers of more flexible 18/8 steel for greater strength and resistance to rust. Professional quality blades are ice hardened to increase hardness, resist corrosion and maintain a long lasting sharpness. Each blade is hand hammered to create hollow air pockets which reduce drag, allowing the blade to slide through food without sticking. The 12.5 degree blade edge is hand mirror polished for exceptionally long lasting sharpness. The perfectly balanced handle features an ergonomic thumb rest for smooth, efficient cutting motion and a stable, comfortable grip. The iconic points on the hollow handle of the knife represent seven traditional Japanese virtues of the samurai code of honor. In the knife block you will find the following knives: n. 1 Paring knife, blade length cm. 10 of Global SAI n. 1 Universal knife, blade length cm. 14.5 of Global SAI n. 1 Vegetable knife, blade length cm. 19 of Global SAI n. 1 Non-hammered flexible blade knife for slicing and filleting, blade length cm. 17 of Global SAI n. 1 Chef's carving knife, blade length cm. 21 of Global SAI n. 1 Bread knife, blade length cm. 23 of Global SAI The knife block can contain up to 13 knives, spatulas and sharpener, with blade length cm. 30.

FAQs
What do Global cases, sets and knife blocks include?
Global cases, sets and knife blocks include a coordinated selection of knives and accessories designed to cover the main kitchen preparation tasks, from everyday cutting to more specific operations.
What characterises the Global SAI Series?
The SAI Series is designed to provide enhanced ergonomics and superior control, featuring redesigned handles and blades intended for prolonged professional use.
What is the difference between cases, sets and blocks?
Cases are designed for transport and professional use, sets offer predefined knife combinations, while blocks provide stable storage and organisation in the kitchen.
Who is the SAI Series designed for?
It is ideal for professionals and experienced users who spend long hours in the kitchen and require comfort, precision and consistent reliability.
Who are these products recommended for?
They are ideal for professionals, advanced enthusiasts and anyone looking for a complete and coherent solution without selecting individual knives.
How does it differ from other Global series?
Compared to more traditional lines, the SAI Series focuses on ergonomics and stability in hand, helping to reduce fatigue during intensive use. The knife body is forged, heavier than Global's G series.
How should I choose the right solution?
The choice depends on usage: cases for mobility, sets for versatility, and blocks for convenient and organised storage.
How should SAI Series knives be maintained?
Regular sharpening on whetstones and the use of proper cutting boards help preserve performance over time.
What makes Global knives recognisable?
The seamless stainless steel design and the distinctive dimpled anti-slip handle, combined with thin, well-balanced blades.
What distinguishes Japanese knives from Western ones?
Thinner geometries, sharper edge angles and an approach focused on precision and clean cutting.
Who are Global knives suitable for?
They are ideal for those seeking lightness, manoeuvrability and precision, both in professional kitchens and advanced home use.
Santoku or Gyuto: which should you choose?
The santoku is compact and versatile for everyday use; the gyuto is closer to a classic chef’s knife and is ideal for long cuts and sustained work.
What type of maintenance do they require?
Hand washing, immediate drying and regular sharpening are recommended. Avoiding aggressive tools and unsuitable surfaces helps preserve the edge longer.
Are Japanese knives more delicate?
Yes, they often require more care: they are not suitable for bones, frozen foods or twisting, but offer superior cutting performance when used correctly.
Which models are considered essential?
A main knife (chef or gyuto), a paring knife and a serrated bread knife cover most kitchen needs.
How do you properly sharpen a Japanese knife?
Whetstone sharpening is ideal: a medium grit for maintenance and a finer grit for finishing, adapting the choice to the steel and usage.
