This versatile knife excels at everyday tasks and is perfect for small tasks where precise cuts are needed. Utility knives are sometimes called sandwich knives because they work well on almost everything that goes into a sandwich—from tomatoes, meats and cheeses. Use one of these for tasks where a chef's knife would simply be too cumbersome. The GS-60 is made from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, specially developed by GLOBAL as it holds a razor-sharp edge and resists rust, stains and corrosion. Ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58, each knife is carefully weighted by filling the handles with sand to achieve the optimum weight and perfect balance. Other unique features include its smooth contours and seamless construction which eliminates food and dirt traps offering the ultimate in safety and hygiene. The acute 15-degree angle cutting edge provides unsurpassed performance and superior edge retention.
