The Global G-80 pairs an 18cm santoku profile with fluting along the blade that is intended to reduce food sticking during rapid vegetable preparation.

At 18cm the santoku shape stays compact while still giving useful board coverage, which makes it a good all-rounder for vegetables, fish and boneless meat. Made in Japan from Cromova 18 stainless steel with Global’s balanced all-metal handle.

Lucy's Verdict

A fast 18 cm santoku for cooks who like GLOBAL but want a flatter, more vegetable-friendly profile.

Lucy · Head of Curation

Why we chose it

This earns its place as the flatter, compact alternative to a chef’s knife, especially for cooks who push-cut and spend a lot of time on vegetables. The G-80 pairs an 18 cm santoku profile with fluting intended to reduce food sticking during rapid vegetable prep. At 18 cm, it keeps the santoku format compact while still giving useful board coverage.

Who it's best for

Buy it if you want a compact all-rounder mainly for vegetables, fish and boneless meat; you naturally use push-cutting, chopping and short slicing strokes; you like a slim stainless handle and low overall weight. G-80 Fluted Santoku is the recommendation when those priorities line up.
