Global UKON 6 Piece Knife Block Set
The Global Ukon line is an eye-catching update of Global's classic line - with signifigant design tweaks. And the UKON 6 Piece Knife Block Set displays each improvement well. Pieces include the 3.5" Paring Knife, 6" Serrated Utility Knife, 8" Chef's Knife, 7" Hollow Ground Santoku, 9" Bread Knife, and the exclusive UKON Slimline Block. This is the perfect core set, and a highly versatile selection for the home or professional cook.
The first update you may notice is the new handle, which sports a dual-surface design with a slight "bump out" on both sides, though it is still minimalistically narrow. There is also a sleek, integrated bevel "thumb rest" on both sides that transitions seamlessly to the blade. But most notably, the blades have been made thicker and sport a deeper dual-bevel edge geometry that makes the knife 10% sharper than the Classic model. This also increases rigidity and increases the feeling of stability to the primary knives. And since Global custom balances every blade with sand, each UKON knife still feels light and nimble. The modern-looking slimline storage block is an attractive exclusive to this set, and it's much more space-conscious and hygienic than traditional blocks.
