The GS-14 is basically the GS-11 with large serrations in the blade. A multi function knife, the serrations allow the utility knife to cut through tougher materials such as bread or allow it to be used with fruits and vegetables with thick skins and soft centers. The knife has a medium sized blade meaning that it will be used often and makes a great addition to any set without a bread knife or just for those who do not use bread knives very often and need something to make do.
The GS-36 Utility knife is a seriously nifty little instrument with a 12cm blade and character hollow handle. Part of our Little Essentials range of Kitchen knives, it can be used to perform a variety of tasks. It has a plain blade which is ideal for fruit and veg preparation including peeling.
It is the hollow handle alternative to the GSF-15 and often found in more recent sets. The hollow handle has an ergonomic shape making this little knife comfortable to handle. The GS Series is Global's range of small and medium sized knives and accessories which encompasses everything from cook's knives to tweezers and spatulas. All GS knives are made with Cromova18 stainless steel.
We also offer a knife dock storage solution for these knives the G-88/4444.
The G-77 Global Fluted 20cm Chef's Knife is a medium-sized cook's knife that will perform a variety of kitchen tasks. It has a nice sized blade good for chopping, slicing and dicing and is useful whether you want to cut up vegetables or slice meat. It features improved flutes to the blade to prevent sticking.
Many Japanese knife manufacturers traditionally produced a specialist knife with one-side grinding known as “Kiritsuke”. It required considerable skill to use effectively, and in many Japanese restaurants, only the head chef was allowed to use one. The Kiritsuke Knife thus became considered to be a symbol of expertise, status and seniority.
Feeding off this tradition, Global ® Knives proceeded to engineer a Double-Edged version of the Kiritsuke in their Classic series to fashion a very versatile knife. This knife can be used to perform most of the tasks normally done with a Gyuto or Chef’s Knife, but also those of the Nakiri and Sujihiki. It has less curvature than the typical Gyuto, making it less suited for “rocking action chopping” but perfect for a “push and pull” cutting action. The tip of the blade is particularly suitable for fine dicing and chopping.
Originally developed for the Roux Scholarship judges, only a further 500 of these exclusive knives have been produced so far and are available on a first come first served basis!
As a chef's knife the G-4 is suitable for most kitchen tasks, slicing, dicing and chopping. There is very little difference in performance between the G-4 and the classic chef knife, the G-2. The difference is cosmetic, i.e. the kink in the blade. This gives the knife an 'oriental' styling, but it bears no meaning to the function of the knife. It is not designed specifically for oriental food, or oriental ways of using a knife, it is just a different shape of cook's knife. It does have a nice upward curve to the blade, which when cutting with the knife allows it to rock up and down on the chopping board, a bit like a mezzaluna.
The shape has been so popular that the second new series of Global knives, the Global NI series, has been based on this knife design. The G-4 also comes in a fluted version as the G-66 and in a smaller size as the GS-58.
The name 'UKON' has many positive connotations in Japanese legend. Our favourite use of the word lies in the expression 'Tachibana No Ukon' referring to the Mandarin Tree that was symbolically planted on the right-hand side of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. It was said to balance the Cherry Blossom Tree on the left-hand side, known as the 'Sakura No Sakon'. Together they replaced the Samurai Guards who had until then protected the Emperor, but who were deemed no longer necessary during times of peace.
In true GLOBAL tradition, the knife is constructed from the best Stainless Steel material and the UKON series features thicker blades to enhance performance. UKON knives are subject to even more precise grinding and finishing work, making them 10 percent sharper out of the box. The knives are designed with an ambidextrous thumb rest that sits closer to the blade for added control and efficiency. The underside of the handle features GLOBAL's trademark indentations, making UKON knives extremely comfortable to hold.
The Global Ukon GUF-30 Paring Knife is a must-have tool for any professional chef. It can be used for a wide variety of kitchen tasks from simple slicing and light peeling, to skilled intricate work. The small, forged blade makes the knife extremely robust and great for hand peeling, precision cuts and garnishing. It is also useful for deveining shrimp or removing seeds.
The GSF-18 is a knife specially designed for use with shellfish, we would not really recommend it for any other use. The short blade is designed to get inside the shell of an oyster or scallop to cut the connection between the two halves of the shell. The short blade is designed to withstand this heavy kind of twisting, where a longer knife might break.
The G-8 is more or less the G-9 bread knife without the serrations, but it makes a great carving knife, as it has a long and narrow blade. This carving knife makes excellent work of joints with no bones in. It will allow you to cut thin even slices of meat, so works best with hams, joints of beef, salmon and any de-boned lamb. It is a worthy alternative to the G-3, although we would suggest if you are looking for the standard carving knife to go for the G-3.

The Global Ukon GU-03 Bread Knife has a long, serrated blade, perfect for slicing through thick crusty bread loaves and soft bread rolls. The GU-03 is also great for slicing soft fruit and vegetables such as tomatoes because the serrated blade glides into the delicate skin, preventing you from crushing the juicy inner layer, leaving a nice clean finish.
The GS-1 is the smallest stated cook's knife in the Global range with an 11cm blade and like all cook's knives is a multi purpose knife used for cutting, slicing and chopping. Use this knife for small kitchen work, cutting the leaves from strawberries or quartering oranges.
