Global Ukon 8" Chef's Knife
The Global Ukon 8" Chef's Knife features a thicker blade than Global's Classic knives, and it sports a deeper dual-bevel edge geometry that makes the knife 10% sharper than the typical Global Classic. The blades are also stronger than previous models and have a bit more weight to them. This is a significant design tweak for the iconic brand, particularly for primary knives such as the 8" Chef's. But since Global custom balances every blade with sand-filled handles, the Ukon 8" Chef's Knife still feels light in use. The Ukon's handle is a dual-surface design with a slight "bump out" on both sides, though it retains an overall narrow shape and feel. There is also a sleek, integrated bevel "thumb rest" on both sides that transitions seamlessly to the blade. The Ukon is a great knife, take advantage of this early promo price, while you can! Made in Japan and backed by Global's lifetime warranty.
