The Global SAI-3001 3-piece knife set — 7.5" Santoku, 6" Utility, and 3.5" Paring — is designed by legendary industrial designer Komin Yamada for home cooks and professionals who want premium Japanese performance in everyday prep knives. At the current price of $96.97, marked down from $349.95, this is the affordable way to buy SAI online today at Honed Edge Cutlery.
What's Included — and What Isn't
The SAI-3001 includes three knives: a 7.5" Santoku, a 6" Utility, and a 3.5" Paring. No knife block is included, and no storage is included with this set — the knives come without a block, so buyers should plan for separate storage such as the Global G-667/16 case or a magnetic strip.

Materials and Performance
Cordova 18 steel is tempered and hardened to hold razor-sharp edges longer than standard steel while resisting rust, stains, and corrosion. The hammered finish creates air pockets that release food while cutting, giving non-stick slicing of vegetables, proteins, and herbs.
Functions and Use Cases
The Santoku handles chopping, dicing, and mincing; the Utility knife handles mid-size fruits, sandwiches, and trimming; the Paring handles peeling and detail work. Lightweight, balanced, and easy to maneuver for long prep sessions.
SAI-3001 vs. Other Global Sets
Compared to the classic Global G-series, SAI features the hammered Cordova 18 finish, longer curved handles with samurai dots, and a more premium look. Compared to block sets at this price point, the SAI-3001 offers exclusive steel and designer ergonomics — just add storage separately.
