Product Description

GLOBAL's greatest endorsement comes from its competitors. As a reaction to GLOBAL's success, kitchen knives are evolving. All major knife manufacturers continue to introduce new knives adopting more and more of GLOBAL's revolutionary features. Even manufacturers of those black handled, three riveted, full boltstered, heavy, beveled-edge knives do not believe in their product any more. Why should you? GLOBAL has razorsharp straight edge sharpened by hand at a 15% angle. Thinner blades for lighter weight giving you more agility with less fatigue. Perfect balance using a weighted hollow handle. No bolster design allowing for full edge use and full-blade sharpening. All stainless steel construction with slip free handle.

Amazon.com Product Description
Make quick work of small foods with this 4-inch parer from Sointu. The knife is made entirely of a proprietary, high-carbon stainless steel called Cromova 18. The material, which contains 18 percent chromium, is hard enough to stay razor-sharp, yet soft enough to sharpen. Unlike most Western-style knifes, Sointu's have thin edges that are ground straight to a point rather than beveled, resulting in a sharper, more durable blade. What's more, the knife has no bolster; rather, its hollow, non-slip handle is filled with just the right amount of sand to create a proper balance.

The knife features a seamless, hygienic construction with smooth contours, preventing food and dirt traps. Made in Japan, it comes with a limited lifetime warranty and should be washed by hand.

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.
