The Global GS Series features comparatively short blade lengths, such as petty knives and paring knives. Features of these knives in this series are functionality that satisfies professional users, and a wide variety of products. The blade is constructed of a single piece of steel, with a unique convex edge for unsurpassed performance. The blade is made of the finest stainless steel called CROMOVA 18 (Chromium, Molybdenum and Vanadium), designed exclusively for GLOBAL that is ice tempered and hardened to hold the razor-sharp edge of the blade longer than any other steel.
