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 GUS-24 Utility Knife is great for chopping smaller foods such as shallots, avocado and cheese. This multiskilled knife shares many qualities of a chef’s knife but is well suited to working with smaller food items, allowing for more precise, delicate cutting work. The GUS-24 Utility Knife is also useful as a small carving knife.
