Global G80 Santoku knife with dimples, 20 cm

Product description

The Global G80 Santoku knife (20 cm) is a versatile Japanese kitchen knife for slicing, chopping and finely preparing vegetables, meat, fish and herbs. Thanks to its wide blade and characteristic santoku shape, the knife is particularly well-suited to precise and controlled cutting.

The indentations in the blade help prevent ingredients from sticking to the knife whilst cutting. This allows you to work faster and more smoothly, particularly with vegetables, potatoes, cheese and other foods that normally tend to stick to a smooth blade.

CROMOVA 18 steel

The blade is made from CROMOVA 18, Global’s signature stainless steel alloy. This steel combines sharpness, corrosion resistance and sufficient toughness for intensive daily use.

Global specifies a hardness of approximately 56–58 HRC for its knives. This ensures the blade remains sharp without becoming excessively brittle.

Japanese grinding angle

The G80 is ground at a relatively small Japanese angle of approximately 15–17° on each side. This produces a thin, sharp edge that cuts through ingredients with little resistance.

The knife is double-beveled and is therefore suitable for both left- and right-handed users.

Indentations to prevent sticking

The vertical dimples in the blade create small air pockets between the cutting edge and the ingredient. This means that vegetables or other produce are less likely to stick to the blade.

This is particularly useful for:

• potatoes
• courgette
• cucumber
• carrots
• cheese
• meat
• fish

Lightweight and well-balanced

As with other knives in the Global G series, the handle is made entirely of stainless steel. The familiar dimpled profile provides extra grip, and the hollow handle is balanced for comfortable and controlled cutting.

What is the Global G80 used for?

The G80 is suitable for:

• chopping and slicing vegetables
• portioning meat
• cutting fish
• finely chopping herbs
• cutting into slices and cubes
• daily mise-en-place

Thanks to its wide santoku shape, the knife is also handy for scooping sliced ingredients off the chopping board.

Care

After use, wash the Global G80 by hand with warm water and a mild washing-up liquid, and dry the knife immediately.

Do not use a dishwasher. High temperatures, harsh cleaning agents and contact with other cutlery can damage the blade and finish. Preferably use a wooden or plastic chopping board.
