Global GS5 Vegetable Knife 14 cm

Product description

The Global GS5 Vegetable Knife 14 cm is a compact and versatile Japanese vegetable knife for the precise cutting and chopping of vegetables, herbs and other fresh ingredients.

Thanks to its wide blade and slightly curved edge, you can work using both a chopping motion and a gentle sawing motion. The 14 cm size makes the GS5 particularly well-suited to smaller vegetables and everyday chopping tasks where control and manoeuvrability are important.

CROMOVA 18 stainless steel

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

With a hardness of approximately 58 HRC, the blade stays sharp for a long time whilst remaining easy to maintain.

Compact vegetable knife

The 14 cm long blade is approximately 3.6 cm high. This gives you plenty of room for controlled chopping and allows you to easily move chopped ingredients with the blade.

The GS5 is ideal for:

• onions and shallots
• carrots and courgettes
• peppers and cucumbers
• finely chopping herbs
• mushrooms
• garlic
• smaller fruit and vegetables

Japanese grinding angle

The GS5 is ground at an angle of approximately 17° on each side. This creates a sharp, thin edge that cuts through vegetables with minimal resistance.

The grind is symmetrical, making the knife suitable for both left- and right-handed users.

Lightweight and well-balanced

The handle is made entirely of stainless steel and filled with sand to balance the knife precisely. The familiar Global dimpled profile provides extra grip whilst cutting.

Weighing approximately 115–122 grams, the GS5 is light and manoeuvrable, which is ideal for precise and repetitive cutting tasks. Global Store states 115 grams; Knivesandtools states 122 grams.

Care

After use, wash the Global GS5 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 ceramics.
