☆ Price reduced. ☆ Condition of the items: Purchased in January 2023. The boxes show signs of aging and some staining due to two years of use. The sharpener box is not included. The knives themselves have been sterilized with alcohol. The 15cm blade knife was used for about two years to slice blocks of sashimi, but it has not been sharpened, and I feel that the sharpness has not changed much. If necessary, the sharpness can be restored by sharpening with the included dedicated sharpener (GSS-03). The 19cm blade knife is unused. The sharpener is also unused. ☆ Features All-purpose knife from the GLOBAL-IST series. It combines the features of a chef's knife and a santoku knife, and can be used for various purposes such as meat, fish, and vegetables. The blade length is slightly longer at 19cm so that it can cut large ingredients such as whole cabbages and Chinese cabbages. Taking advantage of the blade length, it is also possible to slice sashimi. Petty knife from the GLOBAL-IST series. The IST-02 has a pointed tip and a slender shape, making it excellent for slicing and detailed work. By placing your index finger on the spine, it is easier to use the tip for drawing cuts. It is recommended to use it separately with the IST-01 (all-purpose 19cm), which is the all-purpose knife of the same GLOBAL-IST series, depending on the size and cutting method of the ingredients. For example, when mincing onions, the IST-02 can be used for making incisions, and the IST-01 can be used for chopping, allowing for a finer and more uniform mince. GLOBAL-IST is a series characterized by a sharper and more linear blade edge compared to GLOBAL, resulting in a sharper cutting edge. This blade edge also makes the cut surface of the food smoother and more beautiful. For maintenance, please use a whetstone or a compatible sharpener (GSS-03 or GSS-04).
