The GSF-49 is very similar to the GSF-22 the main difference being a slightly deeper blade. The blade has a slight hilt which gives you more height for cutting over the GSF-22, this is a slight improvement but in truth there is very little difference between this knife and the GSF-22. The knife is an excellent all round performer and can do any kitchen task.

The GSF-17 is Global's main small peeling knife. It is a knife with a very specific purpose; to peel and turn as many vegetables as you can get your hands on! The small curved blade makes the knife practical for working around spherical objects like potatoes and apples. There is a small notch in the handle to provide grip and control to work around bumps and grooves, the sharp blade will work through tough skin on sweet potato and other root vegetables.

These small scalloped knives are labelled as tomato knives as they are made precisely for cutting through fruits and vegetables with hard to break through skin. Most obviously tomatoes, but also kiwis, plums, grapes etc. These knives work really well when the center of the fruit is really soft or watery, where putting pressure on the fruit as you cut through could cause an explosion of its contents everywhere! Having a serrated knife will make things a bit easier. The blade is quite short, so these knives are not really useful for bread.

The GFS-16 works well as a peeling knife or paring knife and is sort of between both. The down-turned tip of the blade is said to resemble the shape of a lamb's foot because of the curved edge and flat blade. For those wanting a proper peeler, we suggest the GSF-17 as it has a fully curved blade, but if it is a choice between a GSF-17 and a GSF-15, the GSF-16 is a good compromise and can be used for most small kitchen tasks.

The GSF-23 is one of a few steak knives made by Global and is great for use in tucking into big juicy fatty Rib eyes and Sirloins. It will saw effortlessly through fatty pieces of meat to give you nice clean cuts. In fact this knife has more in common with the other GSF utility knives than other steak knives as the main feature of the blade is the subtle serration in the blade. This makes the knife ideal for steaks but also works well as a utility knife for softer fruits and vegetables. It would make a great tomato knife, so is a multi function blade.

The GSF-18 is a knife specially designed for use with shellfish, we would not really recommend it for any other use. The short blade is designed to get inside the shell of an oyster or scallop to cut the connection between the two halves of the shell. The short blade is designed to withstand this heavy kind of twisting, where a longer knife might break.

The GS-8 is a specialist peeling knife and has a curved blade to work around carrots, potatoes and other vegetables and fruits. The knife has the same blade as the GSF-17 but the GS-8 has the standard hollow handle of the Global GS range. We recommend this peeler for chefs with bigger hands who find the GSF range too small.

The SAI-F03 is a specialist peeling knife and will make quick work of potatoes, apples and carrots. It has a small curved blade which is unsuited to any other kitchen task such as chopping or slicing.

The biggest brother of the GSF-15 and GSF-22, the GSF-24 is the largest forged utility knife in the Global range. It is a bit of an odd knife, it is really a bit big to sit in the GSF category, but shares the same profile and flat handles of the other GSF knives. The GSF-24 has quite a long 15cm blade, which gives it better use towards slicing and carving meat. Nevertheless an all-round performer which can be used for most kitchen tasks.
