- Global GS-7, 4 Inch Paring Knife
Product Description
This 4 Inch Paring knife has a triangular blade and a flat cutting edge which is good for decorative cutting of fruits and vegetables for garnishes.
Global knives are unique because of their edge and the way they are balanced. The most important feature of any knife is its edge, and the Global edge is truly its signature. The majority of the Global knives are sharpened or ground on both sides of the blade like western style knives. However, their edges are ground straight to a point rather than beveled resulting in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer. The edge is so large and prominent that it is easily seen with the naked eye and extends a quarter inch or more up from the tip of the knife.
To balance their knives, Global uses a hollow handle which is then filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. Global uses this method rather than using a full tang and a bolster to balance their knives for two reasons. First, it is a far more precise than using a tang and a bolster. Second, Asian knives typically do not have bolsters, since they only serve as a hindrance to cutting and sharpening.
Global knives are made from the finest high carbon stainless steel available for producing professional quality kitchen knives. Yoshikin uses its own proprietary stainless steel which it calls CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel. This steel is hard enough for Global knives to keep their edge for a long time, but soft enough so that it is not too difficult to sharpen the knives. The CRO in CROMOVA 18 stands for chromium and the 18 is the percentage of chromium in the steel. This high percentage of chromium contributes to Global's good stain resistance.

Love this knife
Posted by Tony on 17th Dec 2020
I just bought this knife to add to my other Global knives. I love the size of this knife and the way it feels in your hand. It has the quality I have come to expect from Global knives. This is a go to knife and I usually have to pry it away from my wife who uses it all of the time.

Awesome knife!!
Posted by Robert Eikel on 18th Nov 2020
This is my first venture into non-western cutlery and I am amazed by the Global brand. Super sharp, high quality, and great pricing for what you get. I was happy to toss my 25-year old JA knives for these.

Light weight and sharp

I had received the 8inch knife as a gift and appreciated the quality for the money. I believe knifes are an investment just like a great set of pans! I decided to purchase a smaller one, it fits perfectly in your hand and very light weight! And of course the sharpness is amazing! Would like to purchase steak knifes to complete my set!

Cooks Love This Knife!
Posted by John Gamel on 15th Jun 2020
A couple of years ago, we were touring in Japan, and went to the Kappabashi just to look. We found a store with a wonderful display of Global knives. After much discussion and handling, we bought a Global GS-7. We particularly liked the feel of the grip, the balance and the unique downward point of the tip. After three years of use, we decided we had to have another...and we fortunately found Sointu. We were able to buy the knife at a great price. If any knife is perfect for its purpose in the kitchen, it's the GS-7.
