Know before you buy
The 4-inch blade is designed for intricate tasks that require precision, such as peeling fruits and vegetables, trimming herbs, or deveining shrimp. Its compact size offers better maneuverability than a standard chef's knife for small-scale prep work.
Global knives feature a signature dimpled handle pattern designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip. While the handle is smooth stainless steel, the ergonomic design ensures it remains stable in your hand even when performing detailed cutting.
No, this knife should be hand-washed only. Dishwashers can damage the blade's edge and the integrity of the steel over time, so we recommend washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately after use.
CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary blend of molybdenum, vanadium, and chromium. This specific composition allows the blade to maintain a very sharp edge for a long time while remaining highly resistant to rust and staining.
The Global GS-40 is forged, which contributes to its superior durability and structural integrity. This construction method ensures the knife is well-balanced and capable of handling professional-grade kitchen tasks.
