The Global GF-33 21cm Chef’s Knife can be used for any purpose. The Global GF-32, GF-33 and GF-34 are Global’s fully forged chef’s knives. As chef’s knives, they can perform any kitchen task. They can slice dice and chop and are generally all-round multi-purpose knives. The GF series of chefs knives come in three sizes, a GF-32 is 16cm, GF-33 is 21cm and GF-34 27cm. The full forged knives are heavier and more robust than the standard G series knives and so they make great professional chef’s knives. We understand why there would be a decision to make between getting the cheaper G series knives like the G-2 or paying more for the pricier forged series. Both series of knives have the same blade, the same blade thickness and ultimately the same edge. The forged series, however, is likely to be a better option if the knife is being used every day in a commercial kitchen. It is a lot stronger than the G-2, but also consider the weight of the knife, as some chefs prefer to have a heavier blade in the hand.
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.
Features:
- CROMOVA 18 steel blade retains its edge longer than any major knife brand.
