Global - GSF 2.5" Straight Paring Knife with Solid Handle

Global Knives are made from the finest stainless-steel material. The blades utilize Cromova 18 high carbon stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell 56°-58° HRC which holds a razor-sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust stains and corrosion.   

Smooth contours and seamless construction eliminate food and dirt traps, offering the ultimate in safety and hygiene. The contours provide a smooth, efficient cutting motion and steady, comfortable grip.  

Edges extend ¼” up the blade and are ground to a straight point, rather than beveled, to provide a dramatically sharper blade that keeps its edge longer

Iconic dots on the knife’s handle represent the seven virtues of the Bushido from the traditional Japanese Samurai code of honor.
