Global GF-31 Boning Knife

The GF-31 is part of Global's 'GF' series, which means it is drop-forged rather than stamped. This process creates a significantly heavier, more robust knife compared to the lighter, thinner blades found in their standard G-series range.

While it is categorized as a boning and fillet knife, the forged construction makes this blade stiffer than a traditional, thin fillet knife. It is better suited for trimming meat and deboning than for delicate, paper-thin fish filleting.

Global uses a signature dimpled pattern on the handle specifically to prevent slipping. This texture provides a secure, tactile grip even when your hands are wet or oily during food preparation.

No, you should always hand wash this knife. High-heat dishwasher cycles and harsh detergents can damage the edge and potentially affect the finish of the high-carbon stainless steel.

Cromova 18 is a proprietary blend of molybdenum, vanadium, and chromium. It is designed to hold a razor-sharp edge for a long time while remaining resistant to rust and corrosion, which is essential for a knife used frequently on raw meats.
