Global Oriental Santoku Knife – 12 cm – 40th Anniversary – Limited Edition

Exclusive Global anniversary knife with a unique design and compact santoku blade

To mark Global’s 40th anniversary, this special 12 cm Oriental Santoku knife was released. An exclusive Limited Edition that combines Global’s iconic design with a compact blade and a unique anniversary engraving.

The knife is a smaller version of a classic Oriental chef’s knife and is ideal for precise cutting. Thanks to the compact 12 cm blade and the refined tip, you can cut vegetables, fruit and other smaller ingredients with precision and control. This anniversary edition is available worldwide in limited numbers only, making it of interest not only to keen cooks, but also to enthusiasts and collectors of Global knives.

Special Limited Edition to mark 40 years of Global

• Global is renowned worldwide for its distinctive Japanese kitchen knives. A special anniversary collection was developed to mark the brand’s 40th anniversary.
• This Oriental Santoku knife forms part of this special edition and features a unique anniversary engraving.
• As this is a Limited Edition, the knife is only available in limited quantities. This makes it a wonderful opportunity to add a special Global knife to your collection.

Compact 12 cm santoku knife

With a blade length of 12 cm, this is a compact santoku. The smaller size makes the knife particularly manoeuvrable and gives you plenty of control whilst cutting. This makes it ideal for ingredients where a large chef’s knife feels less practical.

Use it, for example, for:

• Chopping vegetables
• Cutting fruit
• Chopping onions
• Chopping garlic
• Chopping fresh herbs
• Portioning smaller ingredients
• Precise preparation work

The compact size really comes into its own, particularly when it comes to fine chopping.

Refined tip for precise cutting

• This anniversary knife stands out thanks to its refined precision tip.
• This allows you to work with precision when a standard santoku or larger chef’s knife is just a little too big or wide.
• The result is an interesting compromise between the versatility of a santoku and the control of a smaller kitchen knife.

CROMOVA 18 stainless steel

• As you would expect from Global, this anniversary knife is also crafted from the patented CROMOVA 18 stainless steel.
• This steel is used for its combination of sharpness, durability and corrosion resistance.
• The blade is hardened to 58 Rockwell, which helps maintain a sharp edge whilst being well-suited to the everyday use for which Global knives are designed.

Sharp from heel to tip

• Global knives are renowned for their sharp Japanese edge.
• In this Limited Edition too, the sharp edge runs the full length of the blade, allowing you to cut with control and efficiency.
• The combination of a sharp blade and a weight of just 125 grams makes the knife pleasantly manoeuvrable when preparing smaller ingredients.

Iconic all-stainless-steel Global design

• Global has a look all of its own. The blade and handle together form the recognisable all-stainless-steel design.
• No traditional wooden or plastic handle, but a sleek and modern design that is instantly recognisable as Global.
• The special anniversary engraving adds an extra exclusive touch to this Limited Edition.

Handle with distinctive dimples

• The black dimples in the handle are among the most recognisable features of Global knives.
• Not only do they give the brand its distinctive look, but they also help to provide extra grip whilst cutting.
• In this way, the knife combines a minimalist design with practical ease of use.

Caring for your Global Santoku knife

• To keep the knife looking good and sharp for as long as possible, we recommend washing it by hand and drying it thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
• Ideally, store the knife in a knife block, on a suitable magnetic strip or with a knife guard.
• To maintain the sharpness, you can use a suitable sharpening solution for Japanese knives, such as a Global MinoSharp knife sharpener.
