The name “UKON” has many positive connotations in Japanese legend, and in true GLOBAL tradition, the GLOBAL UKON series is constructed from the finest CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel material and features thicker blades to enhance performance. The Global Ukon GU-03 Bread Knife has a long, serrated blade, perfect for slicing through thick crusty bread loaves and soft bread rolls. The GU-03 is also great for slicing soft fruit and vegetables such as tomatoes because the serrated blade glides into the delicate skin, preventing you from crushing the juicy inner layer, leaving a nice clean finish.
