## Overview

The Global 7 Inch Right-Handed Deba Knife features a razor-sharp, 7-inch blade crafted from high-tech molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel with a unique hammered finish for non-stick performance. Its ergonomic, dimpled stainless steel handle is precisely balanced for superior control and comfort, inspired by the 7 Samurai codes. Made in Japan with triple-layered ice-hardened steel, this knife offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. Backed by a lifetime warranty, it’s designed for professional-quality fish butchering and chopping hard vegetables, making it a must-have for discerning culinary enthusiasts.

## Description

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. 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. Balance is achieved 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 blade is maneuvered. A finger notch between blade and handle provides safety. Although Global also makes a "heavyweight" line for cooks who like hefty knives, its original knives have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. This knife, however, is relatively heavy. Thick at the back, the broad, 7-inch blade, designed for butchering fish and chopping hard vegetables, carries enough weight to chop through fish bones. For clean, low-friction cutting, the blade is tapered to an edge on only one side so it's even sharper than other Global knives. 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 seamless for sanitation. 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 Rail 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

Review: this one might become my favorite quickly, diced potatoes just to see if it's ... - Got this for Christmas along with a gorgeous maple john boos cutting board! I have several globals, this one might become my favorite quickly, diced potatoes just to see if it's equalled my veg. Knife, the blade glides through like butter. I could slice and chop all day with this one, have to get a whole chicken to butcher and see how it does! All in all, I am thrilled with all my globals and this one in particular!
Review: This 7-inch 17.78-cm blade is useful but it's not a deba - The knife has a single right-handed bevel and a slightly concave surface on the back side. Its big blade is useful for light-weight cutting but its spine is not heavy enough to hack through the pine of most fish, which is what a deba is intended to do. The large blade is nicely balanced, but is awkward for filleting small fish or cutting up a chicken or game hen.

Got this for Christmas along with a gorgeous maple john boos cutting board! I have several globals, this one might become my favorite quickly, diced potatoes just to see if it's equalled my veg. Knife, the blade glides through like butter. I could slice and chop all day with this one, have to get a whole chicken to butcher and see how it does! All in all, I am thrilled with all my globals and this one in particular!

*by J***S on November 13, 2023*

The knife has a single right-handed bevel and a slightly concave surface on the back side. Its big blade is useful for light-weight cutting but its spine is not heavy enough to hack through the pine of most fish, which is what a deba is intended to do. The large blade is nicely balanced, but is awkward for filleting small fish or cutting up a chicken or game hen.
