Global GS-108/SC Universal Knife 11.5cm

The GS-108SC Utility Knife has a medium 12 cm blade with a serrated edge. This serrated kitchen knife is the ideal tool for easily cutting through food with a thicker crust, such as bread rolls and salami, but also fruit with a hard exterior and soft interior, such as grapefruits, lemons, and oranges.

The advantages of Global knives

Global knives are made of patented and extremely 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 when cutting, even with wet hands. In addition, the handle is hollow and filled with sand, so the knife fits perfectly in your hand. The sand is very carefully measured, 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 keenly. 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 cutting edge of the blade is not ground into a V-shape, but into a U-shape. This makes the cutting edge much stronger. These convex ground knives can also be sharpened by yourself. Use a sharpening stone for this!

How to care for 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 flow seamlessly into each other, so dirt cannot get stuck anywhere.
