Ultra-sharp, Japanese parer precisely cuts with smooth, firm control. The shorter blade of the Global Sai Paring Knife ensures quick movement and steady control for prepping fresh produce from apples to zucchini. Distinctively hammered so foods release easier, Sai paring knives are engineered in the tradition of authentic Japanese cutlery and perfected to razor-edge sharpness. Handcrafted of triple-layered CROMOVA 18 stainless-steel and 188 steel, the acute-edge blade is ice-tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58 degrees. Highly-resistant to stains, rust and corrosion, the blade retains its exceptionally-sharp edge longer than traditional stainless-steel knives. Unprecedented in the history of Japanese blade performance, the Global Sai paring knife is carefully weighted to ensure perfect balance. Patterned to precision standards of the Samurai sword originating in Japan, the smooth contour, seamless design exceeds the demands of the most discriminating chefs. The Japanese paring knife includes tip-to-end bolster and the ergonomic trademark-dimpled handle with a thumb rest offers a safe nonslip grip. Global kitchen knives are well-known in culinary circles for exceptional function and design. Precision handmade craftsmanship, unrivaled sharpness and flawless one-piece construction distinguish Global Sai knives as the future generation of superior cutlery.
