Global GS-13 Utility Knife 15cm Fine Serration

The Global GS-13 15cm Fine Serration Utility Knife is a versatile, smaller serrated knife for slicing, mincing and prep work.

The GS-13 has very slight serrations along the edge of the blade. Not as pronounced as a fully serrated blade, we find that these small serrations work well with fruit that has a firm skin, but soft centre, particularly well with tomatoes, plums, nectarines and grapes. It is also great for slicing salami, sausage, avocados and small soft or hard-crusted bread. The serrated blade can saw through the skin while keeping a very clean cut. The utility knife is between a chef’s knife and a paring knife in size. This 15cm Fine Serration Utility Knife also comes in a fully serrated version, the GS-14 and a non-serrated flexible version, the GS-11.

Global knives are handcrafted by Japanese craftsmen and made to exacting standards from the finest CROMOVA 18 stainless steel. These knives are ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56˚- 58˚. This 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.

GS Series

The GS Series (GLOBAL Small) is a classic collection of small to medium-sized knives for general preparation and precise prep tasks. There is a knife literally for any and every purpose. Many of these knives have multiple size options available and fluted varieties. Made from a 3-piece construction, two identical handle pieces are welded together and polished forming a hollow handle which is then perfectly balanced with the filling of sand. Lastly, the handle is fused to the patented CROMOVA 18 stainless steel blade.
