Its sharpness, comfortable grip, and excellent build quality make it a highly reliable and enjoyable tool for both professional chefs and home cooks. Highly recommended!

Global knives, when dropped on a stone floor, may snap in two. This must occur frequently because it is specifically called out in the warranty. Because this paring knife is absolutely required by anyone who cooks dinner each night, it was on sale and painless to replace when I dropped mine. I was introduced to Global knives when Anthony Bourdain commented on his Global Chef's knife in a book. This paring knife holds a sharp edge, helps with slicing and peeling. It is especially a good fit for a small hand.

No other knife needed, except this and the global chef’s knife. They are nice and sharp, well weighted, easy to sharpen and clean.

Typical global quality.

Love Global knives. This was an addition to my set. Well balanced, blade retains sharpness. This is my go to brand.

Sharp and comfortable to use. A nifty little knife.

Global 3.5" Paring Knife (GS-38): I didn't look at the item page closely enough and was surprised when the knife arrived and the handle wasn't straight like all of my other Globals. I was going to return it but then saw that there are YT videos, specifically about this knife. After watching them I decided to keep it in case I need to give a quick gift. In the meantime I bought a (GSF-15) 3" to be my primary paring knife. Both knives look & feel great in-hand.

Not very big, but it is a paring knife and very sharp
