The basic Global G series is very familiar to me, as I have sharpened hundreds of them. However, for some reason, the SAI series has received less attention. I got this knife in my hands for the first time when I started selling them, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Finally, a reasonably priced Japanese knife with a proper sharpening angle. The feel in the hand impressed me even more – even fans of traditional wooden handles could be positively surprised. This knife went straight into my personal use after the first test.

The knives in the SAI series are crafted using an innovative triple-layered steel structure. The hard CROMOVA 18 core is surrounded by softer steel layers, which improve the knife’s durability and reduce the risk of rust. The blade angle of around 12.5 degrees makes SAI knives incredibly sharp, ensuring precise and effortless cutting.

The ergonomically designed handle is built for long-term use, with an integrated finger guard that ensures a secure and comfortable grip. The stylish textured surface enhances grip and also adds aesthetic appeal.

The blade’s curved and refined, slightly matte finish gives the knife a modern look while also helping to reduce food from sticking to the blade during cutting. This makes the SAI-03 the perfect tool for anyone who values top-notch performance and style in their kitchen.

NOTE!

A quality knife requires the treatment it deserves. Do not wash the knife in a washing machine. After use, wash with warm water. Dry in a towel and store in a magnet or knife rack. Do not twist anything with the knife, and the general recommendation is that it not be used to cut sticks, bones, or frozen meat. This will avoid chipping the blade and breaking the tip.
