Description

This Global GF-24 Classic Straight Carving Fork is 7″ in length and the hollow handle is filled with sand. Global uses the hollow handle filled with sand as a method of balancing for two reasons.

First, it is a far more precise than using a tang and a bolster. Second, Asian knives typically do not have bolsters, since they only serve as a hindrance to cutting and sharpening. Drop forging the prongs makes the fork stronger.

Global knives and accessories were first designed in 1985. In fact Global Knives commissioned Industrial Designer Komin Yamada to create the style of Global kitchen knives. Global hand-crafts these knives in Niigata, Japan. They use only high quality materials. Mino Tsuchida –Mr. GLOBAL owns Global Knives.

In almost any cutting procedure, the straight Global GF-24 Classic Straight Carving Fork holds the food securely and protects fingers from sharp edges and hot food. Also, with straight tines, the user can better avoid the knife slicing into the tines, dulling the knife blade.

On the other hand the straight fork is not so good for transferring roasts or fowl because the meat can slide off the straight tines. Therefore, a curved meat fork is better for transferring roasts and fowl from pan to carving board or platter.
