Its lightweight, ergonomically designed stainless steel handle offers superior balance and grip, making it ideal for professional-quality cutting. With razor-sharp edges that maintain their sharpness longer than traditional knives and a lifetime warranty, this knife blends cutting-edge technology with timeless craftsmanship to elevate your culinary game. ## Description desertcart.com High-tech from tip to handle, Global knives from Japan created a sensation when they burst onto the world's culinary stage as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Blades are made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and "face-ground" with a long taper rather than a short bevel so edges remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. Edges also are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrive from the factory razor sharp. Although Global also makes a heavyweight line for cooks who prefer hefty knives, its original knives--of which this 7-inch Oriental chef's knife (or santoku) is an example--have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. Global also dispensed with bolsters on its original knives to reduce weight. Global achieves balance in these knives by injecting a precise amount of sand for a particular blade style into a hollow handle. To ensure balance is continuous, the sand flows inside the handle as a cook maneuvers the blade. A finger notch between blade and handle provides safety. Stainless-steel handles are Global's most striking feature. They're molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. Smaller around than many European-style handles, they're easy for small-handed cooks to grasp, and the seamless construction between handle and blade is more sanitary. This knife's wedge-shaped handle is particularly well engineered for grasping securely with a relaxed hand. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steel for its knives, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen Sharpener. Global also makes a sharpening guide set so blades can be honed on a whetstone at the proper angle. Global knives should be hand washed to protect edges. They carry a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. --Fred Brack Product Description The slightly longer curved ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip and features 7 signature black dots which represent the 7 Samurai codes of honor and moral principles. The beautiful hammered finish applied to the patented Cordova 18 core (Chromium, Molybdenum, Vanadium and Carbon) produces air pockets which help release food while cutting, giving the blade non-stick properties. Legendary industrial designer Komin Yamada brings a new age of innovation to Global cutlery with Sai, unifying function and design, these distinctive Japanese knives combine revolutionary ergonomic handles with triple-layered steel blades that maintain their exceptionally sharp edges. The first new cutlery line produced by Global in more than 25 years, Sai blends the Japanese company's tradition of craftsmanship with modern technological advancements. The knives combine three layers of steel: a core of patented, ultra-hard Cromova 18 Sanso stainless-steel alloy and two outer layers of more flexible 18/8 steel for added strength and resistance to rust. Professional-quality blades are ice-hardened and tempered to increase hardness, resist corrosion and 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 and steady, comfortable grip. Made in Japan. Review: The Global G-4 Chef's Knife is the only knife you need! - I have never owned such a sharp, wonderfully balanced knife as this one. I read about it in Anthony Bourdain's book, Kitchen Confidential. He uses this knife in a larger size. I love the 7-inch size -- it is similar in size to the old, dull knives that I've been using for years. Anthony says you only need one knife, a chefs knife like this one. It really is the perfect knife for absolutely everything. You do have to be VERY careful with it when you first start using it after almost a lifetime of using dull knives. It is SHARP! Razor sharp! But oh what a joy to slice potatoes thinly, chop onions or garlic, cut up tomatoes or vegetables, trim meat, cut up a cooked chicken -- everything is so much easier with this knife! I also love that it is all one gorgeous piece of beautiful silvery metal. No handle to loosen over time, and somehow the handle never seems to get slippery, even when your hands are wet or greasy. This knife is well worth the price, and then some. Review: Always a Superb Knife. Perfect size and outstanding performance -- it's a sure thing! - Knives don't get better than this. I own a variety of Global knives, as well as a few Japanese chef knives. The latter require much care, and it's a neverending balance between developing patina or rust. A few years back, during a move, I took my entire knife collection and packed it into a moving box. Want to guess which box disappeared? Someone out there has an outstanding collection of knives. Since I lost a few Global knives in that incident -- I've been re-collecting knives in my kitchen, trying out some new brands I've eyed for years and also collecting a few custom chef's knives. They are all pretty great in their own regard, but really, to be honest, I probably enjoy owning them more than using them. Nothing quite like pulling out a 10" blade when guests are over--but actually using it is effectively or even beautifully is another challenge. With one of my knives, it's like getting a workout. Global knives, and especially this size, are always my go-to knife under regular circumstances. It cuts meat like a hot blade on butter and the slice through vegetables is always clean and instantaneous. The edge stays sharp, and even after a few years, I barely notice any dullness. It fits into a regular female hand so perfectly and snugly, giving the user a lot of control and precision. I know with my 8-10" knives, it's often like I'm wielding a samurai knife in the kitchen--and I admit I've ended up with quite a few cuts while attempting to slice and dice. I know the popular brands out there like Wusthof or Henckels are mainstream, but they can't hold a candle to Global knives. ## Features - Lightweight, precisely balanced 7-inch Oriental chef's knife - Blade made of high-tech molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel - Edge retains razor sharpness exceptionally well - Stainless-steel handle molded for comfort, dimpled for safe grip - Lifetime warranty against defects and breakage ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00005OL45 | | Best Sellers Rank | #469,229 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #2,084 in Chef's Knives | | Blade Color | Stainless Steel | | Blade Edge | Hollow | | Blade Length | 7 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Material Type | Stainless Steel | | BladeLength | 7 Inches | | Brand | Global | | Brand Name | Global | | Color | Stainles Steel | | Construction Type | Stamped | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 450 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04943691804488 | | Handle Material | Stainless Steel | | Included Components | 1 Knife | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Length | 9 Inches | | Item Type Name | Oriental Chef's | | Item Weight | 0.64 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Global | | Manufacturer Part Number | C274 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Guarantee | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | G-4 | | Size | 7" | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Edge:** Hollow - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Global - **Color:** Stainles Steel - **Handle Material:** Stainless Steel ## Images ![7 inch Oriental Chef's Knife - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LNcelQSmL.jpg) ![7 inch Oriental Chef's Knife - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SEvWCiXEL.jpg) ![7 inch Oriental Chef's Knife - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dw3F+Wn9L.jpg) ![7 inch Oriental Chef's Knife - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718adgcj6WL.jpg) ![7 inch Oriental Chef's Knife - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614q+RDA7qL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Global G-4 Chef's Knife is the only knife you need! *by N***E on February 13, 2017* I have never owned such a sharp, wonderfully balanced knife as this one.

After reading many reviews I felt confident about buying this knife. Sure enough, it does a great job with cutting tough root veggies and ever other food item. It feels great in hand, because of its shape and lightweight composition. We love it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Global G-4-7" Oriental Chef's Knife - Global 5" Chef's Utility Knife - Global 3.5" Paring Knife --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/6448865-7-inch-oriental-chefs-knife](https://www.desertcart.it/products/6448865-7-inch-oriental-chefs-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
