Global GS1 Office Knife 11 cm

Product description

The Global GS1 Paring Knife 11 cm is a compact and versatile kitchen knife for small and precise cutting tasks. Thanks to its short blade, you can work with great control when peeling, cleaning and finely chopping vegetables, fruit and other smaller ingredients.

The GS1 is part of the Global GS series. This series comprises more compact knives that combine the same recognisable all-stainless-steel design with a handy size for precise work.

CROMOVA 18 stainless steel

The blade is made from CROMOVA 18, Global’s signature steel grade. This stainless steel alloy combines sharpness with corrosion resistance and sufficient toughness for everyday use.

With a hardness of approximately 56–58 HRC, the blade remains sharp without becoming excessively brittle. This makes the knife easy to maintain and suitable for frequent use.

Compact knife for precise cutting

With a blade length of 11 cm, the GS1 is ideal for tasks where a large chef’s knife is less practical.

Use the knife, for example, for:

• cutting fruit and vegetables
• finely chopping small ingredients
• peeling and cleaning
• chopping garlic and shallots
• preparing strawberries, mushrooms and citrus fruits
• precision work on the chopping board

Its compact size gives you great control over the tip and the cutting edge.

Sharp Japanese edge

Global knives are ground to a relatively thin edge. For maintenance, a grinding angle of approximately 15–17° per side is generally used.

The knife is ground on both sides and is therefore suitable for both left- and right-handed users.

Lightweight and well-balanced

The all-stainless-steel handle features the distinctive Global dimpled profile, which provides extra grip whilst cutting.

Weighing just around 95 grams, the GS1 is light and manoeuvrable. This makes it particularly suitable for fine and precise cutting work.

Care

After use, wash the Global GS1 by hand with warm water and a mild washing-up liquid, and dry the knife thoroughly straight away.

Do not put the knife in the dishwasher. High temperatures, harsh cleaning agents and prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the blade and finish.

Preferably use a wooden or plastic chopping board and avoid hard surfaces such as glass, stone and ceramic.
