Knife Sharpening & Free Demos in Stores
  • Legendary industrial designer Komin Yamada brings a new age of innovation to Global cutlery with Sai—individually hand-hammered knives with one-of-a-kind character. Unifying function & design, these distinctive Japanese knives combine revolutionary ergonomic handles with triple-layered steel blades that maintain their exceptionally sharp edges. In this set, we've hand-selected six of the most useful knives for everyday cooking & entertaining, along with a companion storage block.

    • The first new cutlery line produced by Global in more than 30 years, Sai blends the Japanese company’s tradition of craftsmanship with modern technological advancements.
    • Designer Komin Yamada pairs user-friendly organic designs with individually hand-hammered blades that make each knife unique.
    • The knives combine three layers of steel: a core of patented, ultra-hard Cromova 18 Sanso stainless-steel alloy & two outer layers of more flexible 18/8 steel for added strength & resistance to rust.
    • Professional-quality blades are ice-hardened & tempred to increase hardness, resist corrosion & maintain long-lasting sharpness.
    • Each blade is hand-hammered to create hollow air pockets that reduce drag, allowing the blade to glide through food without sticking.
    • 12.5-degree blade edge is mirror-polished by hand for exceptionally long-lasting sharpness.
    • The perfectly balanced handle has an ergonomic thumb rest for a smooth, efficient cutting motion & steady, comfortable grip.
    • Iconic dots on the knife's hollow handle represent seven traditional Japanese virtues from the Samurai code of honour.
    • Stainless-steel storage block's angled design helps protect the blades & its nonslip rubber base anchors the block securely on a countertop.
    • Block has slots for 13 knives & a honing steel.
    • Made in Japan.
    • A Williams Sonoma exclusive.
