The Global GS Series Santoku Fluted Knife 13cm (5.1") is a compact, versatile Japanese knife designed for precision slicing, chopping, and dicing. Its shorter blade length makes it ideal for smaller hands, detailed prep work, and kitchens where agility and control are essential.

The Santoku blade shape — meaning “three virtues” — excels at slicing vegetables, fish, and boneless meats. The fluted (Granton) edge helps reduce friction and prevents food from sticking to the blade, allowing ingredients to release cleanly during cutting.

Crafted in Japan from Global’s proprietary CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, the blade offers exceptional sharpness, durability, and resistance to corrosion. The signature hollow stainless steel handle provides perfect balance and a secure grip, making this knife a favorite among professional chefs and serious home cooks alike.
