Global G-20 Flexible Fillet Knife 21cm

The G-18, G-19, and G-20 are a series of larger flexible filleting knives with large handles from the G-series, designed for heavier work. We recommend these knives for filleting the largest types of fish, where a much larger knife is needed and where something like the G-21 would not suffice. Examples include trout, salmon, and cod. These knives are all genuinely pliable and quite flexible, especially the two larger sizes. The G-20 Filleting Knife is the smallest size and is somewhat less flexible than the G-18 and G-19. This makes it better suited for use with meat and it can be used as a typical slicing knife.

The advantages of Global knives

Global knives are made from patented and extremely hard Cromova 18 steel. No other knife brand is allowed to use this steel. The handle is the most striking feature of Global knives. The small dimples provide above-average grip during cutting, even with wet hands. Additionally, the handle is hollow and filled with sand, ensuring the knife fits perfectly in your hand. The sand is measured very carefully, so your knife is perfectly balanced in your hand.

More about Cromova 18 steel

The fine grain structure of this unique steel ensures that the knives can be sharpened very acutely. Cromova 18 steel has a hardness of 58 HRC. The hardness is therefore slightly less than many other Japanese knives, with the great advantage that you can easily resharpen your knives yourself. Global knives are convex ground. This means that the edge of the blade is not ground in a V-shape, but in a U-shape. This makes the edge much stronger. You can also resharpen these convex ground knives yourself. Use a sharpening stone for this!

How to maintain your Global knives?

We advise against putting your Global knives in the dishwasher. In the dishwasher, your knife can come into contact with other (flying) kitchen utensils. You don't want scratches or dents on your blade, do you? Fortunately, a Global knife is easy to clean by hand. The handle and the blade merge seamlessly, so dirt cannot get stuck anywhere.
