How to Sharpen the Global SAI Chef's Knife
Sharpen at the standard SAI series angle of roughly 15 degrees per side using a whetstone; avoid pull-through sharpeners that can chip the hardened Cordova 18 edge. Regular honing between sharpenings preserves the razor edge.
SAI Series Knife Care
Hand wash and dry immediately; the C56–C58 steel resists rust and stains but should never see the dishwasher. Seamless construction makes cleaning fast.
Use Cases
The workhorse of the kitchen: cutting, chopping, slicing, and daily prep—lightweight and balanced for extended use.
Comparisons & Alternatives
Vs. the standard Global G-2, the SAI-M01 adds hammered non-stick blade texture and the ergonomic Samurai-dot handle. Vs. other hammered santoku/chef knives, Cordova 18 steel is exclusive to Global.
