The Global GF-32 16cm Chef’s Knife can be used for any purpose. It is a really good tough medium-sized chef knife capable of performing a variety of kitchen tasks. It is built in the shape of Gyuto, a Japanese style knife, these knives generally have a flat part of the blade towards the heel for chopping, whilst the front half of the blade is curved for slicing and more precision work. The knife has a slightly kicked forward heel to it which provides a semi bolster for a bit of added protection. As a fully forged knife, it is stronger than the standard G series of knives and lends itself well for use in professional kitchen settings. A great knife if you are looking for one knife for all tasks. If you are after something similar yet slightly bigger, consider the GF-33 or GF-34 Chef’s Knives.
Global knives are handcrafted by Japanese craftsmen and made to exacting standards from the finest CROMOVA 18 stainless steel material. These knives are 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. The Global Classic collection has remained unchanged since 1985 as a true testament to its quality and unique construction. This original collection designed by Komin Yamada promises durability, quality and timeless design that captures the spirit of Global’s philosophy and insistence on excellence. The GF Series is a classic collection of larger, drop forged knives for general preparation. This range, being more durable for heavy use, is favoured by professional chefs.
