Global 3 inch Forged Paring Knife, Lightweight Japanese Stainless Steel, Razor-Sharp Edge, Made in Japan, GSF-46

I ordered a Global Santoku knife a while back from a recommend in a knife forum. Turns out it was a great knife, and it quickly became my wife’s favorite kitchen knife - we had Zwilling/Henkels for the most part before I got these. They’re light weight, keep the edge for a reasonable amount of time (they all get dull, these commercials for the “world’s sharpest knife!” are silly, whack stuff up on a cutting board, go through some turkeys and roasts and it’s as dull as the $4 knife at the dollar store). They’re kitchen knives, so rust really isn’t an issue. They’re also lightweight (I believe on the bigger knives, the handle has a hollow cavity) – it’s all one-piece construction, so no handles coming off or getting damaged or destroyed by washing or leaving it too close to a burner. For Christmas I decided to replace all of our Zwilling/Henkel knives with Global knives. I ordered them à la carte – like everybody else, Global’s big sets had more than I needed and not enough of what I wanted, so if you see this review in multiple places, that the reason. Anyway, the 3” pairing knife is very nice, functional and worth the money.

Handy and sharp!

Best pairing knife I have purchased, my go too brand before was Chicago. Global is def more pricey, however its been well worth the price. Its not light, which is good, it has weight to it which helps with cutting. Its easy to grip with all the little holes, it does get a little slippery if your hands are wet since its metal however thats easy to work around, just keep your hands dry. Overall awesome knife, cuts well, cleans easily.

I like the slender handle, which I hold with my fingers, not in a "fist". This is not the knife for jobs that require power -- you will want a knife with a thicker, rounder handle for those jobs. This is a knife for jobs that require finesse. It is perfect for hulling strawberries, or similar fine work. I've had other Global knives, and I enjoy the extremely sharp (and narrow) edge and how long they remain sharp. It's also extremely easy to clean, as it's all one piece, with no joints or cracks.

Great pairing knife and super sharp

Great paring knife, the only reason not to put 5 stars is due to the handle - it is too thin to hold comfortably but quite heavy compared to the blade

Amazing!!!

After trying out numerous knives (places like sur la table will allow you to cut as many potatoes as you want with all of their display knives), I went with global as the knives are a decent size and weight for my small hands but my husband with his giant king kong fists finds them comfortable to use as well. I highly recommend the entire line, especially if you're someone with smaller hands and find giant knives a bit cumbersome. This paring knife is obviously the smallest in the line, but it's very sharp and I have used it for more than just peeling and small intricate work like pitting cherries.

Je suis fan de cette marque depuis près de 10 ans mais là... Seulement qq semaines et déjà des traces de rouille, des tâches noires sur la lame.... Jamais au lave vaisselle et pourtant... Un éplucheur à ce prix doit être dans la lignée de cette gamme... Irréprochable ! Très déçu !!!!

Top Qualität

Conoscevo già il marchio Global e questo spelucchino GSF-46 non fa altro che confermare perché lo adoro. Lama da 8 cm, bilanciamento perfetto, manico ergonomico in acciaio senza parti in plastica: si sente immediatamente la qualità. Lo uso quotidianamente per le preparazioni più delicate: sbucciare, affettare piccoli ingredienti, rifinire i dettagli in cucina. Non trovo coltelli migliori dei Global! Li ricomprerei altre mille volte.

Excellent couteau Et j’aimerais un modèle encore plus petit pour les épluchages très fins

Perfect paring knife. I also have the large one. Highly recommend Global. Easy to handle, very well made. Worth the price if you cook a lot
