Precision Peeling Tool
The Global GSF-17 is a 2-1/4-inch bird's beak peeling knife designed for intricate fruit and vegetable preparation. Its curved blade follows contours closely to reduce waste during detailed tasks. The knife suits home cooks and professionals who need accuracy for garnishing and shaping produce.
Ideal For Detailed Prep
This knife excels at peeling rounded items like apples, potatoes and kiwis where a straight blade is awkward. It is not suited for chopping, slicing large vegetables or cutting through tough skins and bones. Buyers needing a general-purpose kitchen knife should look at a different blade style.
Cromova 18 Stainless Steel
The blade uses Cromova 18 stainless steel hardened to 18 for long-lasting sharpness. Ice hardening helps the edge retain its precision through repeated use. This material choice defines the knife's performance for fine peeling work.

Questions about this item
How small a curve can the 2-1/4-inch bird's beak blade follow?
The short 2-1/4-inch blade with its tight bird's beak curve is designed for intricate peeling and garnish work on small produce such as garlic cloves, shallots and cherry tomatoes.
Does the Cromova 18 stainless steel blade heat up during long prep sessions?
The all-stainless construction stays at room temperature; only the handle warms slightly from hand contact during extended use.
What sharpening tools suit the ice-hardened Cromova 18 edge?
Use a ceramic honing rod or a fine-grit water stone; the hard Cromova 18 steel holds its angle well but needs a harder abrasive than standard steels.
