Global Knives G18 Filleting Knife 24cm
The Global filleting knife has a flexible blade and can be used to fillet whole fish or to remove the skin from fish fillets. It is very difficult to perform either of these tasks without a flexible blade. Razor sharp edges and a comfortable handle combine to make a very popular knife. This is just one knife from a large range of global knives.
Global knives were first made in Japan in 1985. The designer Komin Yamadi was asked to produce a range of new knives in a modern design. These new Global knives were to be revolutionary in design and to be manufactured from the best materials. The range of Global knives is now very large and has won numerous awards.
- The Global filleting knife should be sharpened regularly.
- Filleting knives are principally used for filleting whole fish or for removing skin from fish fillets. They are also quite useful for preparing liver or for fine slicing meats for stir fries. It is the flexible blade which is the important feature here.
- The stainless steel handles on Global knives have been shaped for comfort and have dimples for extra grip.
- Global knives have extra sharp knife blades – made from Cromova 18 stainless steel – which has been ice hardened to Rockwell 56-58.
- Easy to clean – there are no dirt traps on these knives.
- Global knives are favoured by many professional chefs worlwide and have won many awards since their introduction in 1985.
- ADVICE – We recommend that you hand wash Global knives in warm water with a mild detergent. This is best done immediately after use and before any foodstuffs have had a chance to dry on to the blade. Dry immediately.
- ADVICE – All Global knives (except those with a serrated edge) should be sharpened regularly for optimum performance. Ideally this should be done every time you use your knife.
- ADVICE – Do not chop on to bones or open tins with your knives.
Global knives are made from Cromova 18 Stainless Steel.
Global knives are ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell 56-58.
The hollow handles in the GS series of Global knives are weighted to give better balance. The blades of Global GS knives are made from continuously folded and hammered steel. This method of knife manufacture is traditional in Japan (for samurai swords) and in the middle east, where it is referred to as Damascus steel.
The knives in the the Global GF series are all fully forged, in the traditional European manner. They are more weighty and stiffer than the same knife in the GS series of Global knives.
All edges and joins have been machined to eliminate food – trap recesses.
Global knives should be washed by hand – they are NOT dishwasher safe.
The Global Filleting Knife – G18 – is 24 cm long.
