Global GF-99 Stainless Steel Fluted Chef’s Knife - 20.5 cm
Description
Global GF-99: The Professional Fluted Knife for Clean and Smooth Cuts
The fluted Global GF-99 chef’s knife, available online at Polsinelli, is a medium-sized multipurpose kitchen tool designed for professional use but also ideal for home cooking. With a fluted 20.5 cm blade and an overall length of 33.5 cm, it is perfect for working with both meat and fish with precision, efficiency, and safety.
The blade is forged from special Cromova 18 stainless steel—a molybdenum-vanadium alloy with a Rockwell hardness of 56–58 HRC—ensuring excellent corrosion resistance and long-lasting sharpness. The fluted edge reduces friction during slicing and prevents food from sticking to the blade, enhancing cutting fluidity and cleanliness. The final handcrafted sharpening ensures consistently high performance, even after intensive use.
The ergonomic stainless steel handle is hollow and filled with sand for perfect balance and reduced fatigue during prolonged use. The seamless one-piece construction between blade and handle ensures a secure grip, prevents food residue buildup, and offers maximum hygiene and easy cleaning.
Knives in the GF series feature a larger handle and a thicker blade spine than those in the G series. These heavier knives are specifically designed to meet the demands of professionals working for extended hours, with the additional weight contributing to improved stability and cutting power.

Useful Tips:
To best preserve the quality of the knife, even though it is made of stainless steel, hand washing with warm water and neutral soap is recommended, followed by immediate drying with a soft cloth. The use of a dishwasher is not advised to prevent potential damage caused by the oxidizing salts in aggressive detergents. For optimal maintenance, prolonged contact with acidic substances should be avoided, as they may cause slight surface oxidation.
