GLOBAL Ukon Series Kitchen Knives
A Stunning Meeting of Past & Present
In Japanese, ukon means the union of the traditional and the new. It’s a theme that runs throughout GLOBAL’s catalogue, but this union is even more present in the Ukon series. Featuring slightly thicker blades that are 10 percent sharper out of the box, the Ukon series is built for tough kitchen cuts. The knives are designed with an ambidextrous thumb rest and a dual-surface ergonomic handle for added control. GLOBAL didn’t change up the chemical composition of the knives, however. Made with exclusive Cromova 18 steel, they’re ice tempered and hardened to up to 58 on the Rockwell scale for excellent edge performance. The company’s iconic dimpled texture makes for a secure hold unlike that of other kitchen knives.
Note: The base price is for the 7-inch Asian Chef’s Knife. At checkout, you’ll have your choice from 10 other options, including knives and knife block sets. Pricing will vary depending on your selection; see checkout options for more details. Due to the sensitive nature of shipping knives internationally, we can only ship this knife to select countries.
