Global G-15R Tako Sashimi Knife 30 cm

Description

The Global G-15R tako knife masters the art of cutting octopus with its 30 cm blade designed specifically for this traditional Japanese technique. Its distinctive feature lies in the square tip and the fully straight edge that allow uniform cuts through the dense texture of cooked octopus. When tako presentation demands absolute precision without tearing, this model responds with a unique geometry impossible to replicate with conventional yanagibas.

Forged in Cromova 18 steel with 56-58 HRC hardness, it keeps the 70/30 asymmetric edge for right-handed users adapted to the specific needs of octopus cutting. The square tip prevents accidental piercing while the straight edge guarantees perfectly parallel slices. Its balanced 240 g weight, set with weighted sand inside the handle, makes control easy during delicate cuts on tentacles.

Why choose the Global G-15R tako knife?

Sushi chefs who specialise in octopus preparations value how the specific geometry of the G-15R turns complex cuts into precise moves. First, the square tip removes the risk of accidentally piercing tentacles during ultra-thin slices. Then, the 30 cm straight edge allows complete uniform cuts without the sawing motion that would ruin the texture.

The extreme specialisation of the tako clearly sets it apart from multipurpose yanagibas: every element responds exclusively to the challenges of cutting cooked octopus. The Global handle also modernises the traditional grip without compromising its specific function. Keep the asymmetric edge performing with Global sharpening stones made for Cromova 18 steel.
