Global GS-11 Flexible Fillet Knife 15cm

The GS-11 Fillet Knife (flexible) 15cm is one of the more popular knives in the Global range and is often found in many of their knife sets. There it takes on the role of filleting and slicing, but it is also seen as a 'general purpose' knife. The GS-11 has an average blade length of 11 cm, which is good for filleting small fish such as sea bass. The blade is also flexible, making it suitable for this purpose. Because the knife is versatile, it can also be used as a small carving knife.

The advantages of Global knives

Global knives are made of patented and extremely hard Cromova 18 steel. No other knife brand is allowed to use this steel. The handle is the most striking part of Global knives. The small dimples provide more-than-average grip when cutting, even with wet hands. In addition, the handle is hollow and filled with sand, so the knife fits perfectly in your hand. The sand is very carefully measured, so your knife is perfectly balanced in your hand.

More about Cromova 18 steel

The fine grain structure of this unique steel ensures that the knives can be sharpened very sharply. Cromova 18 steel has a hardness of 58 HRC. The hardness is therefore slightly less than many other Japanese knives. The big advantage of this is that you can easily sharpen your knives yourself. Global knives are convex ground. This means that the cutting edge of the blade is not ground in a V-shape, but in a U-shape. This makes the cutting edge much stronger. You can also sharpen these convex-ground knives yourself. For this, use a sharpening stone!

How to maintain your Global knives?

We advise against putting your Global knives in the dishwasher. In the dishwasher, your knife can come into contact with other (flying) kitchen utensils. You don't want scratches or dents on your blade, do you? Fortunately, a Global knife is easy to clean by hand. The handle and blade seamlessly merge, so dirt cannot get stuck anywhere.
