The blade is made of the finest stainless steel called CROMOVA 18 (Chromium, Molybdenum and Vanadium), designed exclusively for GLOBAL. Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56 - C58 degrees which holds the razor-sharp edge of the blade longer than any other steel. Ergonomic, stainless steel hygienic handles with signature dimple pattern offer a comfortable, slip-resistant grip. Ni Collection Incredibly strong knife tips and Asian design enable highest standard of accuracy. Unique convex edge of the GLOBAL blade makes cuts smoother, requiring less energy. Lightweight CROMOVA 18 steel blade retains its edge longer than any major knife brand. Thicker blade with increased weight and a longer handle to perfectly balance the increased weight. Rounded spine ensures comfort while using a professional pinch grip. Sleek, ergonomic handles are perfectly balanced and designed for maximum comfort and control. Sai Collection Special three-ply blade construction made from corrosion-resistant 18/8 and CROMOVA 18 stainless steel Unique convex edge of the blade makes cuts smoother, requiring less energy. Perfectly balanced and ergonomic handles designed in the traditional Japanese bushido way of the Samurai. 12.5-degree blade edge is mirror-polished by hand for exceptional long-lasting endurance. Unique thumb rest gives added comfort and control. Each blade is individually hammered by hand and designed so that small hollows create air pockets between the blade so food elegantly falls away from the surface. Designed By Legendary Designer Komin Yamada 'When I work with a cold material such as stainless steel I look to nature for my inspiration. Using the organic shapes of nature I am able to create harmony between the person and the utensil.'

With it's distinctive 'dotted' handle the GLOBAL Classic knife became and remains a truly global product - finding its way into the homes and businesses of many lovers of food throughout the world. Review: parfait - C'est un outil qui m'est devenu indispensable ! Ce couteau est d'un tranchant que je n'avais jamais connu. Il faut faire très attention car la pointe ou le côté pointu de la lame situé près du manche percent la peau des mains avec une facilité déconcertante. Le produit est très cher, c'est incontestable. Mais je pense que la qualité est au rendez-vous. Je m'en sers actuellement pour découper des canards gras et l'exercice n'a plus rien à voir avec ce que je faisais avec mes anciens couteaux. Review: Fantastic knife, expensive but well worth the money - I know these knives are expensive, but they are so worth the money. They are light and cleverly balanced in your hand to enable fine chopping which speeds up the prep 10 fold. ## Features - Dureté : 56-58 HRC - Acier inoxydable haute qualité - Très résistant à la rouille et à la corrosion, Ideal para descascar e descamar, lâmina de 3 1/2 - Faca de descascar estilo ocidental global de 8,8 cm com cabo moldado, Najwyższa jakość – ostre ostrze do golenia wykonane z bardzo twardego molibdenu-wanadu CROMOVA 18 ze stali nierdzewnej, odporne na plamy i korozję - CROMOVA - Japońska stal wysokowęglowa, odporna na rdzę, zaprojektowana wyłącznie dla Global Knives ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000A386PS | | Best Sellers Rank | #35,754 in Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Kitchen ) #46 in Paring & Peeling Knives | | Blade Color | Stainless | | Blade Edge | Serrated | | Blade Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Blade edge | Serrated | | Blade length | 3.5 Inches | | Blade material | Stainless Steel | | BladeLength | 3.5 Inches | | Brand | GLOBAL | | Brand Name | GLOBAL | | Color | Silver | | Colour | Silver | | Construction Type | Forged | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 704 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885106637769, 04943691738004 | | Handle Material | Alloy Steel, Stainless Steel | | Handle material | Alloy Steel , Stainless Steel | | Included Components | NO | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Length | 8.88 Centimeters | | Item Type Name | Paring knife | | Item Weight | 62 Grams | | Manufacturer | Global | | Manufacturer Part Number | GH282 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | GS38 | | Size | 4 بوصة | | UPC | 885106637769 885193876966 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade edge:** Serrated - **Blade material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** GLOBAL - **Colour:** Silver - **Handle material:** Alloy Steel, Stainless Steel ## Images ![Global Classic Paring Knife, 9cm, Made In Japan, CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel Award-Winning Blades, Excellent Performance, Ice Tempered/Hardened, Razor Sharp, Rust-Resistant, Balanced Handle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KYEE4zlwL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How does this knife compare to the Global GSF46 Paring Knife?** A: I had a completely different feel. The GS-38 is on the only knife I've seen in the Global line that has a nice rounded handle feel, like a traditional chef's knife (just scaled down). I've used the GSF46 and it feels like a table knife. The width of the handle is not much more than the blade, say 1/4-3/8". I personally do not like the feel as it makes it difficult for me to produce fine controlled slices with such a thin handle. I would imagine if you are used to holding a small cutting knife in your finger tips, instead of wrapping you fingers around the handle then it would be great. Now matter which Global knife I've used they all make surgical scalpels feel like steak knives it is amazing how sharp they are and easy to cut with. **Q: Does this knife have the thin handle?** A: about 3 times thicker than the blade - a wonderful knife - I love it! **Q: Does this knife come with a blade cover??** A: No, this knife didn't come with a cover to store it in. But I will say that it is well worth the money anyway! One of the best knives I own. **Q: What angle is the edge?** A: I think it's 10° ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ parfait *by J***L on 10 December 2021* C'est un outil qui m'est devenu indispensable !

They are light and cleverly balanced in your hand to enable fine chopping which speeds up the prep 10 fold. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ich möchte es nicht mehr missen *by E***SS on 24 April 2025* Ist schon der Nachkauf weil mir eines leider abhanden gekommen ist. Liegt gut in der Hand. Ist sehr scharf und hat genau die richtige Größe um vielfältig eingesetzt zu werden. Ist jeden Cent wert, auch wenn es in der Anschaffung etwas teurer ist. ## Frequently Bought Together - Global 3.5" Paring Knife - Global 8" Chef's Knife - Global G-9-8 1/2" Bread Knife --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/254189477-global-classic-paring-knife-9cm-made-in-japan-cromova-18](https://www.desertcart.us/products/254189477-global-classic-paring-knife-9cm-made-in-japan-cromova-18) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-03*
