The hollow ground divets in the blade create little air pockets between the blade and your ingredients, so your slices fall away easily as you cut. Use this Asian chef’s knife for vegetables, meats, and fish.

The Global Ukon Series is an exceptional synthesis of modern kitchen knife performance and traditional Japanese bladesmithing. “Ukon” in Japanese even means, “the union of the traditional and the new.” Using their proprietary CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, Global Ukon boasts a thicker blade for additional strength and durability, yet a 10% sharper edge than previous collections, thanks to the sleeker, modern design that retains its edge longer. Ukon continues the Global tradition of all-stainless-steel construction, and features a dimpled handle that is slip-resistant and extremely comfortable.
