Williams Sonoma's partnership with Global cutlery led to the development of Global Ukon, the perfect synthesis of Japan's knife-making heritage, modern design and superior performance. Details like a dual-surface handle, an ambidextrous thumb rest and a thicker blade with a noticeably sharper edge are indications of Ukon's technical innovation. Like all Global knives, the cutlery offers perfect balance and seamless construction. Five of the most frequently used knives make up this set, which includes a contemporary storage block.

• Knife edges are 10% sharper out of the box based on internationally recognized C.A.T.R.A. testing.
• Dual-surface handles have smooth and textured sides, representing the fusion of modern design and Global tradition.
• Thicker blades provide added durability and strength without compromising performance.
• Indentations on the santoku's blade edge reduce drag and minimize sticking.
• Ergonomic handles and rounded spines ensure extra comfort and minimize fatigue.
• Stamped blades are made of exceptionally hard Cromova 18 high-carbon stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to resist corrosion.
• Made in Japan exclusively for Williams Sonoma.
