The GLOBAL-IST series was created to "create" Japanese dining tables.
This versatile knife has been carefully designed down to the last detail to be able to handle any ingredient and cutting method.

■Precise blade design that allows for a variety of cutting methods
The blade is straight and has a moderate width from the center to the jaw (hand side), allowing you to easily shred cabbage or finely chop green onions.
The blade narrows from the center to the tip, giving it a gentle curve, allowing you to perform delicate tasks such as cutting through the tendons and thinly slicing meat, and even cutting sashimi.
By taking advantage of the curve of the entire blade, you can easily perform "push cutting" such as chopping finely or cutting into very small cubes.

■The 19cm blade length provides ample usability
At 19cm, it's slightly longer than the average household knife. This extra space provides stability when butchering whole cabbage or large chunks of meat. And yet, it's the perfect size for easy handling even in the most limited kitchen space. The blade edge is sharper and more linear than the GLOBAL series, smoothly slicing through ingredients without damaging their cellular structure. Its sharp cutting edge dramatically improves the texture, freshness, and beautiful presentation of your food.
