The Global Sai 9.5" Chef's Knife offers ultra-sharp and precise performance for professional chefs or experienced home enthusiasts. The 9.5" Chef's knife is highly versatile and ideal for any kitchen prep, but the very fine edge may be best suited to precision slicing, dicing, mincing and chopping of fruits, vegetables and boneless meats and fish. The Sai Series from Global is a their top-of-the-line collection of kitchen cutlery. The blade is forged from three layers of proprietary CHROMOVA 18 Stainless steel alloy and 18/8 stainless steel. The blades are then individually hammered and ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C58° - C59°. The CHROMOVA 18 blade is harder and thinner, allowing for a mere 12.5° bevel to create an ultra-sharp and fine edge. The blade transitions smoothly and seamlessly into the ergonomically shaped stainless handle. A contoured thumb rest provides grip and control and the hollowed handle is filled with sand to achieve a precise weight for the perfect balance. Made in Japan and backed by a manufacturer's lifetime warranty. Measures 15.75" l x 1.75" w x .8quot; h.
