Global GS-6 - 4 inch, 10cm Paring Straight Knife



Great Little Knife
As with the other Globals I own, this knife always puts a smile on my face when I use it. It's real handy for the little chopping and trimming jobs.

I own a variety of knives -- Henckels, Wusthof, Forschner -- and know how to keep them very sharp, but the first time I used a Global it was like stepping into a new level of sharpness and control. Whatever they're doing differently in the design and manufacturing of these knives, it's right.

Fabulous!
I bought a large version of this product from a friend who was returning to England from the states. I loved it so much I had to have the paring knife. They are simply perfect, easy, beautiful and SHARP!

Beautiful Knife
This is my 16th or so Global Knife. I love their design and functionality. If they are being treated properly, they remain an awesome kitchen tool (my oldest Global knives are more than 10 years old). They do not need a lot of sharpening due to their high quality steel. Over the years, I had them sharpened quite a few times (in addition to my own sharpening with a high quality ceramic sharpener and a Japanese sharpening block) and the blade shape has not changed at all. Love them and highly recommend them.

Global G-21/4 - 4 inch, 11cm Stainless Steel Spatula



So simple. So right.
Until I started baking, I couldn't imagine what good a narrow, 10 inch spatula might be. I purchased this model to apply icing to small cakes. Like most GLOBAL brand utensils, this spatula is balanced and features seamless construction. The black dimples in the handle provide satisfactory grip under most conditions, which is often a concern with metal handles.

Update: I also own the 4 inch spatula. I love it. It has a bendy, agile quality that is perfect for spreading condiments on bread. However, the four inch spatula seems overmatched when it comes to stiff cream cheese. I don't consider this a flaw, really. If the blade were strengthened for hard cream cheese and cold butter, it would compromise the bendiness that gives this instrument its deft, jaunty quality. The blade is thin enough to cut, but not sharp like a knife. Because of the short, thin blade, this tool is necessarily unbalanced versus the handle. Just be aware that you might need something sturdier if you...

Indispensable!
What is there to say? This is another great Global product. I use it just as much or more than my global knives. When it comes to buttering toast, or making a PB&J, this thing is awesome. Matches my other Global products, which is really the only reason to spend this kind of money on a spatula...

I ordered it by mistake. Glad I did. I am amazed how much I use it for all kinds of stuff. Sandwiches, spreading various foods, stirring things, cooking. Nice tool. I have several Global products and like them all, Global makes very high quality products.

Global 5 inch Slicing Knife Utility Knife



Great design, great quality
Global knives have thin, very stiff blades with the weight focused in the handle for great balance. The grips are the best and the knives are one-piece. They will last for centuries, I imagine. This one is hard to find because it has a rounded tip. It is strong enough to tackle big jobs and small enough to serve as a paring knife.

Global 6 in. Forged Utility Knife GSF-24



Global Knives
Knife arrived on time and in excellent shape. This is our third one and it is as extraordinary as the other 2.

Good blade, but...
Handy, very sharp and elegant, but the blade is slightly bent to the left (approximately 3 mm). I hope this is only an individual problem.
