The beautiful hammered finish applied to the patented Cordova 18 core (Chromium, Molybdenum, Vanadium and Carbon) produces air pockets which help release food while cutting, giving the blade non-stick properties. Legendary industrial designer Komin Yamada brings a new age of innovation to Global cutlery with Sai, unifying function and design, these distinctive Japanese knives combine revolutionary ergonomic handles with triple-layered steel blades that maintain their exceptionally sharp edges. The first new cutlery line produced by Global in more than 25 years, Sai blends the Japanese company's tradition of craftsmanship with modern technological advancements. The knives combine three layers of steel: a core of patented, ultra-hard Cromova 18 Sanso stainless-steel alloy and two outer layers of more flexible 18/8 steel for added strength and resistance to rust. Professional-quality blades are ice-hardened and tempered to increase hardness, resist corrosion and maintain long-lasting sharpness. Each blade is hand-hammered to create hollow air pockets that reduce drag, allowing the blade to glide through food without sticking. 12.5-degree blade edge is mirror-polished by hand for exceptionally long-lasting sharpness. The perfectly balanced handle has an ergonomic thumb rest for a smooth, efficient cutting motion and steady, comfortable grip. Made in Japan.

Alors en premier lieux, il faut admettre que c'est une très très belle lame. Ayant déjà un Santoku, un Nakiri, un couteau à filet et un hachoir chinois de la marque Global, j'ai été surpris par la beauté de cette lame.Concernant le fil, il est amusant de noter qu'il n'a pas l'air aiguisé lorsque l'on passe son pouce sur l'arête. Par contre, à la première coupe (je l'ai utilisé pour trancher un tataki de dinde), on se rend immédiatement compte que ce couteau excelle pour les tailles de précisions : aucune sensation de résistance, il traverse les fibres musculaires comme si ce n'était que de la mousse.Attention cependant : c'est une lame japonaise qui n'est aiguisée que d'un coté. Il ne conviendra donc pas aux personnes habituées à couper de la main gauche.

I really wanted to like this knife because I am a big fan of Global knives and am always impressed by their comfort and reliability. Unfortunately, this knife is the first time I have ever been very disappointed in a Global product.For starters, it arrived incredibly dull. This was unexpected since I've grown used to Globals being sharp right out of the box. But okay no problem, I took it to get professionally sharpened (stone, single bevel).During the pitifully short time that the knife was sharp and usable I noticed some other issues with its design. One, the knife is actually very heavy (beware if you're expecting a quick, graceful yanagi). Two, it is also very wide--so wide that it basically wedges itself into food rather than sliding through it like a good slicer.All in all, I cannot recommend this. It feels like a poorly thought-out add-on to Global's otherwise impressive lineup.
