Global Classic Fluted Cooks Knife – 13cm GS-92

The GS-92 takes inspiration from the Japanese Usuba (Vegetable Knives). The relatively flat parts of the blade are designed to chop through fruit and vegetables and come into full contact with the chopping board and give a clean cut. The front of the blade is more curved like a chef’s knife, to allow the knife to be rocked gently forward after each cut and encourage correct technique. The scalloped grooves on the sides of the blade edge helps with reducing friction and sticking of foods.

The GS-92 is made from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, specially developed by GLOBAL as it holds a razor-sharp edge and resists rust, stains and corrosion. Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58, each knife is carefully weighted by filling the handles with sand to achieve the optimum weight and perfect balance. Other unique features include its smooth contours and seamless construction which eliminates food and dirt traps offering the ultimate in safety and hygiene. The acute 15-degree angle cutting edge provides unsurpassed performance and superior edge retention.
