Global Classic 2-Piece Chef’s and Paring Knife Set

Two knives cover most of the cutting in a home kitchen: a chef’s knife for the board and a paring knife for work in the hand. This set pairs a 7-inch chef’s knife with a 3-inch parer, a combination that suits cooks who find an 8-inch chef’s knife larger than they need.

The chef’s knife has a row of flutes above the edge, which Global designed to help food release from the blade, so slices of potato and cucumber are less inclined to stick. Its 7-inch length handles onions and chicken breasts on a standard home board and is easy to control for cooks with smaller hands. The paring knife takes care of peeling, coring and trimming, the jobs that are awkward with a longer blade.

The set makes a practical first step into Global knives and a straightforward gift. Cooks who would rather have the full-size chef’s knife can start with the Global Classic 8-inch Chef’s Knife and add the Global Classic 3-inch Paring Knife separately. Other Global sets are compared in the details below, and our guide to kitchen knife shapes explains what each shape does.

Tips for Best Results

Cut with a forward or backward slicing stroke. Chopping straight down onto the board dulls a thin edge faster.
Keep the edge away from bones, frozen food, hard nuts and hard cheese. If the blade catches on something hard, free it with a forward-and-back motion; twisting it sideways can chip or bend the edge.
Cut on wood or plastic. Glass, stone, marble and tile surfaces damage the edge.

Care

Wash by hand with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse, and dry with a towel right away. Global advises against the dishwasher, since the heat and strong detergents can damage the edge and the steel.
Do not soak the knife or clean it with bleach or chlorine cleansers.
Hone with a ceramic or diamond rod and sharpen on a whetstone at 10 to 15 degrees. Global recommends ceramic or diamond rods over conventional honing steels.
A household stainless steel cleaner removes rust spots left by inadequate drying.
