The Global GSF 3" Paring Knife is a forged, precision knife designed for detail-oriented kitchen work, especially peeling and slicing fruits and vegetables. Part of the compact GSF series, this knife features a solid handle that mirrors the blade's weight and length, creating an ideal balance in hand for maximum control. The blade is forged from Global’s proprietary CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, which combines chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium for outstanding corrosion resistance and edge retention. It’s ice-tempered and hardened to a Rockwell C56–58 rating to maintain its razor-sharp edge over time. The ergonomic stainless steel handle is dimpled for a non-slip, comfortable grip. Sleek, hygienic, and lightweight, this 3" paring knife is essential for any chef who values precision and performance in a compact form.
