- Stamped blade is made of exceptionally hard Cromova 18 high-carbon stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to resist corrosion.
- Prominent 1/4" edge is visible to the naked eye and ground straight to a point rather than beveled resulting in impressive sharpness and edge retention.
- Stainless-steel handle is seamlessly constructed and textured for a good grip.
- Crafted to professional standards, this knife is lightweight yet perfectly balanced.
- 4 1/2"-long blade; 4"-long handle; 2.75 oz.

Use & Care
Use
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
- It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone or frozen food, as the blade can be easily damaged.
Care
- Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
- Use the honing steel only when you feel the knife has lost some of its original sharpness, usually no sooner than six months after its first use. As you continue to use your Global knife, it will require more frequent honing. If you need to hone your knife more than once every two weeks, it is time to have it sharpened.
- Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener, or have it sharpened by a professional.
- Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.

In love with this knife!

Since purchasing it during the sale a few weeks ago, I find myself using it so much now for vegetable prep, and getting excited to do so! The perfect shape and size for easily cutting up most veggies and fruit, especially smaller citrus, apples, cucumber, and tomatoes. I don’t use a chef’s knife too often, and prefer lighter weight knives for most tasks, but needed something with a wider blade for more chopping power than a paring knife or thinner utility tends to have. This is very sharp out of the box, beautiful and high quality. Have been a big fan of Global since getting their GS-38 paring, and am now even more impressed with their classic line. .

WOW, great blade!

I’m a former restaurant guy and knife expert. I picked this up at the Westport, CT location and so glad I did. Perfect balance and is the go to knife in our kitchen. Great for small tasks like a paring knife and big enough to knock out larger ones like a mini chef’s knife. The taller, offset blade is comfortable for small and larger hands. Get one while you can!

Best Utility knife I've ever owned.

This knife is amazing. Light weight in hand, but strong. Cuts better than my Henckels.

Great utility knife

Great knife and incredibly sharp out of the box. I really like the ergonomics and weight of it. I was hesitant bc it’s my first Global, but this one is the Goldilocks in weight, length, and shape, and feels just right for its purpose. Ergonomically, I really like the handle and balance. Its slightly wider angled blade, which I was wasn’t sure about, is actually perfect and allows me to do more than my old utility knife. The final test - I find myself reaching for it much more frequently than I ever thought I would. Highly recommended.
