Global Knives | SAI Series
The GLOBAL SAI Series knife steel consists of a total of three layers. For the two outer layers, a slightly softer stainless steel alloy called SUS 410 is used. This cladding protects the hard core made of Cromova 18 Sanso steel, which has a hardness of 59 degrees Rockwell (+-1). Typical for the knives of the SAI series is the hand-applied hammered finish. This not only gives the knives an impressive appearance but also reduces the sticking of cut material, similar to the function of a hollow edge. The seven points on the underside of the handle of the SAI knives by GLOBAL symbolically represent the 7 virtues of the samurai.
