Why are GLOBAL knives the trusted partners of chefs and home cooks alike? Razor-Sharp Blades Hand finished from ultra hard Cromova 18 high carbon stainless-steel, these blades hold a cutting edge for a long time whilst being easy to resharpen. GLOBAL knives are ice tempered and hardened which gives the steel a special resistance against rust and corrosion . Ergonomic Handles To create the perfect balance, GLOBAL knives (excluding GSF Series) are crafted with hollow handles filled with just the right amount of sand to counter the weight of the blade. This is more precise than the full tang and bolster method and the seamless construction eliminates food and dirt traps. 15-Degree Cutting Edge GLOBAL knives are expertly designed with uniquely convex 15-degree cutting edges which wear more slowly. This is in contrast to most Western knives that use a bevelled edge. The straight edge results in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper for longer. Iconic Design GLOBAL Knives are hand crafted in Japan using the same traditions for over 40 years. The launch of the iconic, all stainless-steel, one-piece structure kitchen knife was an unprecedented new concept and created a new genre in the professional knife industry , known as 'all stainless steel'.

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 10Β° ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic knife, expensive but well worth the money *by G***T on 7 March 2018* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ All good - but for this price.....! *by P***H on 7 May 2014* I suppose you get what you pay for with most things. This is an excellent knife but comes at a cost. ### ⭐⭐ Great knife, until it broke *by D***D on 2 August 2019* Bought in Sept 2015, looked after well - regularly sharpened, not dropped/dishwashed. Snapped whilst chopping last night. Very disappointed given the original cost of the knife. I'm now going through the Global warranty return - I will update review with outcome. ## 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? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/65477483-global-gs-38-paring-knife-9cm-blade-sharp-utility-knife](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/65477483-global-gs-38-paring-knife-9cm-blade-sharp-utility-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
