Global GS-61 Bagel-Bread knife 16cm

The Global range lacked a small bagel and bread knife, as the GS series included everything except a smaller variant of the bread knife. At 16 cm, it is suitable for most breads, and it is also a cheaper alternative than buying the full G-9. In addition, the GS-61 Bagel and Bread Knife 16cm also serves as a good all-purpose knife for vegetables with a hard peel and a soft core. So it is also excellent for slicing large tomatoes.

It was realized that some smaller Global knife blocks could not accommodate the large bread knife. So if you have the smallest size of the so-called 'ship shape' block, the GS-61 is a good option. This knife fits well in smaller kitchens or for users who prefer a more compact knife for their cutting tasks.

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 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 measured very carefully, so your knife is perfectly balanced in your hand.

The fine grain structure of this unique steel ensures that the knives can be sharpened very sharply. Cromova 18 steel has a hardness of 58 HRC. The hardness is therefore slightly less than many other Japanese knives. The big advantage of this is that you can easily sharpen 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 sharpen these convex ground knives yourself. Use a sharpening stone for this!

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 merge seamlessly, so dirt cannot get stuck anywhere.
