Global GSF-49 Utility Knife

This knife is designed for precision tasks like delicate slicing, paring, and trimming. It is not intended for heavy-duty chopping or cutting through bone, but rather for intricate work where control and agility are paramount.

The handle features Global's signature seamless, all-metal design, which is lightweight and well-balanced. While it offers excellent control, those who prefer a rubberized or textured grip may find the smooth stainless steel handle feels different than traditional Western-style knives.
