Global Forged Boning Knife

The GF Series is drop-forged, meaning it is constructed from a single, thicker piece of steel for increased weight and durability. While standard Global knives are lightweight and stamped, the GF series offers a more substantial, heavy-duty feel that professional chefs often prefer for rigorous tasks.

While it is engineered for the resistance of beef and pork, the 6.25-inch blade is versatile enough for poultry. However, if you primarily work with delicate fish or small birds, you might find a more flexible, thinner blade easier to maneuver.

This knife uses CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, which is hardened to Rockwell C56–58. To maintain the convex edge, use a ceramic or diamond honing rod regularly, and avoid using glass or stone cutting boards, which can dull the blade prematurely.

Yes, the signature dimple pattern is designed to create small air pockets between your hand and the handle. This prevents the knife from slipping, even when your hands are wet or greasy during prep work.

The sand filling is precisely calibrated to counterbalance the weight of the forged blade. This creates a neutral balance point, which reduces wrist fatigue and gives you greater control when making precise cuts around bone.

We strongly recommend hand washing only. The high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher can damage the edge, dull the finish, and potentially compromise the integrity of the handle over time.
