Global GF-33 Chef's Knife 21cm

This GF-33 Chef's Knife from Global is a kitchen knife that can handle any cutting task. You can slice, dice, and chop with it. This knife is very comparable to Global's G-2 Chef's Knife.

The difference between the G-2 Chef's Knife and the GF series chef's knives from Global

The fully forged knives are heavier and more robust than the standard G-series knives and are therefore excellent professional chef's knives.

Why choose between buying the cheaper G-series knives, such as the G-2, or paying more for the more expensive forged GF-series? Both series of knives have the same blade, the same blade thickness, and ultimately the same edge. However, the forged GF series is probably a better option if the knife is used daily in a commercial kitchen. The GF series is much stronger than the G-2 because it is fully forged. In addition, the weight also plays a role in your choice, because the GF series chef's knives are heavier than the G-2 chef's knife. Some chefs prefer a heavier blade in their hand.

The advantages of Global knives

Global knives are made of patented and ultra-hard Cromova 18 steel. No other knife brand is allowed to use this steel. The handle is the most striking part of Global knives. The small dimples provide more than average grip during cutting, even if you have wet hands. In addition, the handle is hollow and filled with sand, so the knife fits perfectly in your hand. The sand is carefully measured so that 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 have a convex grind. 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 do you maintain your Global knives?

We advise you not to put 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 blend seamlessly, so dirt cannot get stuck anywhere.
