Summary

Santoku is a Japanese word meaning "three virtues," describing the three primary functions: slicing, dicing, and mincing. The shape of the knife is ideal for Western-style cooking with a flat, deep, and powerful blade, perfect for cutting heavy root vegetables like sweet potato, squashes, and celeriac. The GS-90 is a smaller version of the full-sized 18cm Santoku, ideal for smaller tasks. It features a fluted blade that creates air pockets to allow food to fall away easily when slicing.

The GS-90 is made from Cromova 18 stainless steel, developed by Global to hold a razor-sharp edge and resist rust, stains, and corrosion. Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58, each knife is carefully weighted by filling the handles with sand for optimum weight and perfect balance. Smooth contours and seamless construction eliminate food and dirt traps, ensuring safety and hygiene. The acute 15-degree cutting edge provides superior performance and edge retention. The GS-90 is also available in a full-sized option, the G-80.
