Global GNFS-01 Paring Knife 9cm

The GNFS series, which stands for Global Ni Forged Small, includes this paring knife, the smallest knife in the Global Ni range with a small 9 cm blade. The GNFS-01 has a fully forged blade with a flat handle similar to the GSF-15 from the classic Global series. The knife is small but strong and can be used for all those small kitchen tasks, including cutting small fruits and peeling vegetables.


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 part of Global knives. The small dimples provide more grip than average when cutting, even with wet hands. Additionally, the handle is hollow and filled with sand, so the knife fits perfectly in your hand. The sand is very 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 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. These convex ground knives can also be sharpened by yourself. For this, use a sharpening stone!

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.
