How does this knife compare to the Global GSF46 Paring Knife?

I had a completely different feel. The GS-38 is on the only knife I've seen in the Global line that has a nice rounded handle feel, like a traditional chef's knife (just scaled down). I've used the GSF46 and it feels like a table knife. The width of the handle is not much more than the blade, say 1/4-3/8". I personally do not like the feel as it makes it difficult for me to produce fine controlled slices with such a thin handle. I would imagine if you are used to holding a small cutting knife in your finger tips, instead of wrapping you fingers around the handle then it would be great. Now matter which Global knife I've used they all make surgical scalpels feel like steak knives it is amazing how sharp they are and easy to cut with.

Does this knife have the thin handle?

about 3 times thicker than the blade - a wonderful knife - I love it!

Does this knife come with a blade cover??

No, this knife didn't come with a cover to store it in. But I will say that it is well worth the money anyway! One of the best knives I own.
