Global Knives Ukon Range Santoku Knife 18cm

The name “UKON” has many positive connotations in Japanese legend, and in true GLOBAL tradition, the GLOBAL UKON series is constructed from the finest CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel material and features thicker blades to enhance performance. The Global Ukon GU-04 Santoku Knife is a versatile all-purpose knife that can chop, slice and dice most vegetables, meat and fish. The word Santoku means `three qualities’ in Japanese and some would say this relates this to the three key prepping techniques mentioned above. The fluted edge on the blade creates little air pockets when you chop, to reduce friction and sticking of foods.
