GLOBAL Utility Knife Flexible 15cm / 6" GS11

The GS11 is one of the more popular knives in the GLOBAL® range and is frequently found in many of the sets where it fills the role of filleting, carving and 'general purpose' knife, hence its name. The GS11 has a medium sized blade which is good for filleting small fish and the blade is also flexible which makes it suitable for this purpose. It can also be used as a small carving knife and as it says, utility by name, utility by nature.

Made from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, specially developed by GLOBAL® as it holds a razor-sharp edge and resists rust, stains and corrosion. Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58, each knife is carefully weighted by filling the handles with sand to achieve the optimum weight and perfect balance. Other unique features include its smooth contours and seamless construction which eliminates food and dirt traps offering the ultimate in safety and hygiene. The acute 15-degree angle cutting edge provides unsurpassed performance and superior edge retention.

From its modest inception, GLOBAL has developed into one of the most successful brands of professional kitchen knives in the world. Still crafted by hand in Yoshikin’s factory in Niigata, Japan, GLOBAL knives are manufactured to extremely high and exacting standards using the best raw materials available.

Like the Samurai swords, each knife is carefully weighed to ensure the perfect balance. GLOBAL has attracted much over the years and received numerous awards. GLOBAL knives are made from the finest stainless-steel material. The blades utilise CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel, which has been designed exclusively for Global knives, ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56- 58 which holds a razor-sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion. This steel is hard enough for Global knives to hold that steep acute cutting edge for a long time, yet soft enough so that it is not too difficult to sharpen. Care should be taken to keep your Global knives stain and rust free.
