Global Ni are the second in the new generation of Global Knives (Ni meaning 2). These knives have all you would expect of the Global range; razor sharp edges, Chromova18 stainless steel and Global's famous perfectly weighted hollow handles. Thicker blades with slightly longer handles and a spine that has been slightly rounded to provide control and comfort using a pinch grip.
The Santoku looks and performs very similar to the chef's knife. The only slight difference is that the santoku knife has a deeper blade and it is slightly flatter making it better at chopping rather than slicing.
