Global Ukon Santoku Knife - 13cm Blade
YOU MUST BE 18 OR OVER TO ORDER THIS PRODUCT. PROOF OF ID WILL BE REQUIRED ON DELIVERY.
The name 'UKON' has many positive connotations in Japanese legend. Our favourite use of the word lies in the expression 'Tachibana No Ukon' referring to the Mandarin Tree that was symbolically planted on the right-hand side of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. It was said to balance the Cherry Blossom Tree on the left-hand side, known as the 'Sakura No Sakon'. Together they replaced the Samurai Guards who had until then protected the Emperor, but who were deemed no longer necessary during times of peace.
The Global Ukon GUS-20 Small Santoku Knife is a great all-rounder knife and one of its key features is the indentations on the cutting edge. These small divets create little air pockets between the blade and your ingredients, to prevent slices from sticking as you cut. The GUS-20 is excellent for prepping medium vegetables, meat and fish.
Features:
10% sharper than previous collections
Cromova18 Stainless Steel
Thicker blade for added strength
Acute 15 Degree Cutting Edge
Ambidextrous thumb rest for extra comfort
Handwash Only
