Williams Sonoma's partnership with Global cutlery led to the development of Global Ukon, the perfect synthesis of Japan's knife-making heritage, modern design and superior performance. Details like a dual-surface handle, an ambidextrous thumb rest and a thicker blade with a noticeably sharper edge are indications of Ukon's technical innovation. Like all Global knives, the cutlery offers perfect balance and seamless construction. Combining the benefits of a cleaver and a chef's knife, this traditional santoku has indentations on the blade edge to reduce drag and minimize sticking.
- Knife edge is 10% sharper out of the box based on internationally recognized C.A.T.R.A. testing.
- Dual-surface handle has smooth and textured sides, representing the fusion of modern design and Global tradition.
- Thicker blade provides added durability and strength without compromising performance.
- Ergonomic handle and rounded spine ensure extra comfort and minimize fatigue.
- Stamped blade is made of exceptionally hard Cromova 18 high-carbon stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to resist corrosion.
- Made in Japan exclusively for Williams Sonoma.
