Part of Global's classic GS series of small to medium knives built for general and precision preparation, the GS-40 brings the same CROMOVA 18 steel, the same convex edge geometry, and the same seamless single-piece construction that has made Global the benchmark of professional Japanese cutlery — scaled to the most personal and intimate cutting format in the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e4-inch blade\u003c\/strong\u003e is the sweet spot of paring knife design — long enough to peel, trim, and slice with full confidence, compact enough for the close-contact, in-hand work that larger knives cannot navigate. The \u003cstrong\u003eunique convex edge\u003c\/strong\u003e — ground straight to a point rather than beveled in the conventional way — produces a dramatically sharper cutting edge that is immediately visible to the naked eye, extending a quarter inch or more up from the tip, and that stays sharper significantly longer than a standard beveled edge through regular daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is forged from \u003cstrong\u003eCROMOVA 18\u003c\/strong\u003e — Global's proprietary Chromium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium stainless steel, designed exclusively for the brand — ice tempered and hardened to \u003cstrong\u003eRockwell C56-C58\u003c\/strong\u003e for a rust, corrosion, and stain-resistant edge that holds its precision through years of daily kitchen use. The \u003cstrong\u003ehollow stainless steel handle\u003c\/strong\u003e is filled with precisely the right amount of sand to achieve perfect balance between blade and hand, and the \u003cstrong\u003esignature dimple pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a secure, slip-resistant grip even when hands are wet. The \u003cstrong\u003eseamless single-piece construction\u003c\/strong\u003e eliminates every crevice where bacteria accumulate in traditional handle-and-blade knives. Hand wash only.
