Global 4.5-in. Paring Knife

The first Global knife was designed in 1985 by Komin Yamada who was commissioned to develop a superior, revolutionary knife made with the best materials and employing the most modern design concepts. Given an almost unlimited budget, he created an award-winning knife that ultimately appealed to both the professional and at-home chefs. Made from the finest stainless steel available anywhere (Molybdenum/vanadium), this 4.5-in. Paring Knife has a remarkably sharp blade - one that's been ice-tempered and hardened to meet stringent standards. It holds its razor sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion. Like the Samurai swords it was modeled on, the knife is carefully weighted to ensure perfect balance as you pare, slice and peel small fruits and vegetables. The smooth contours and seamless construction prevent food and dirt particles from collecting on the knife - the ultimate in good kitchen hygiene.
