The name 'UKON' has many positive connotations in Japanese legend. Our favourite use of the word lies in the expression 'Tachibana No Ukon' referring to the Mandarin Tree that was symbolically planted on the right-hand side of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. It was said to balance the Cherry Blossom Tree on the left-hand side, known as the 'Sakura No Sakon'. Together they replaced the Samurai Guards who had until then protected the Emperor, but who were deemed no longer necessary during times of peace.
In true GLOBAL tradition, the knife is constructed from the best Stainless Steel material and the UKON series features thicker blades to enhance performance. UKON knives are subject to even more precise grinding and finishing work, making them 10 percent sharper out of the box. The knives are designed with an ambidextrous thumb rest that sits closer to the blade for added control and efficiency. The underside of the handle features GLOBAL's trademark indentations, making UKON knives extremely comfortable to hold.
The Global Ukon GU-01 Chef’s Knife is a versatile all-purpose blade that excels at every cutting task you can think of in the kitchen. The GU-01 is great for chopping vegetables, meat and fish, and it can also be used to finely chop herbs or peel garlic. Whatever the task, slicing, dicing, chopping or mincing, you can rely on this chef’ knife to perform every time.
Arguably the finest knife makers in the World, Global knives grind their blades to highly acute angles on both sides of the blade, a technique which creates an ultra-sharp finish. They also feature unique handles, which are weighted with sand, giving them perfect balance at any angle. Global offer a very wide selection of premium quality knives, from chefs' knives to paring knives, and their immensely attractive designs are certain to enhance the look of your kitchen.
