Global Classic Paring Knife

The convex edge is designed to glide through ingredients with less resistance than a traditional V-shaped edge. This makes it exceptionally smooth for precision tasks like peeling fruit, deveining shrimp, or performing intricate cuts.

The hollow, sand-filled handle is a signature Global feature that creates a perfectly weighted balance point. It prevents the knife from feeling blade-heavy, giving you better control and reducing wrist fatigue during repetitive tasks.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The high-heat environment and harsh detergents of a dishwasher can damage the blade's edge and the handle's finish, so it should always be hand-washed and dried immediately.

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary blend developed by Global that is specifically formulated to resist rust and corrosion while maintaining a very sharp edge. It is ice-tempered and hardened to a Rockwell rating of 56-58, which strikes an ideal balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening.

The signature dimple pattern is specifically engineered to provide a secure, slip-resistant grip even when your hands are wet or oily. It offers a tactile texture that ensures the knife stays firmly in your hand during detailed prep work.
