The GN-004 is Global Ni's large size bread knife and has a saw like blade for sawing through the crustiest loaves of bread. If you have bought a Global Ni series we do advise caution though as this blade does not fit in some of the smaller knife holders. For those looking to complete their collections we also suggest the GNM-09 bread knife which has a slightly smaller 21cm blade.
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 GUM-10 Vegetable Knife, also known as a ‘Nakiri’, is a Japanese square-tipped knife created almost exclusively for prepping vegetables. The flat parts of the blade are designed to chop and slice through vegetables with precision and ease. The knife’s wide blade is also ideal for moving ingredients from the chopping board to the pan.
The GS-91 Vegetable Chopper makes chopping, slicing and prepping vegetables effortless. Taking inspiration from Japanese Usuba (Vegetable Knives), the relatively flat part of the blade is designed to effortlessly chop through fruit and vegetables by coming into full contact with the chopping board for a clean cut. The front of the blade is more curved so the knife can be rocked gently forward after each cut and encourage good technique.
The fluted edge prevents pieces of vegetable becoming stuck to the blade, this is because pockets of air in the fluted area of the knife stops the vegetables from sticking as you cut.
- 14cm Fluted blade
- Weighted hollow handle
- Ultra sharp 15° cutting edge
- Ergonomic design
- Available with non-fluted blade, the GS-5
One of the four brand new utility knives that have been introduced to the Global ® GS range of kitchen knives. The GS-108/UT Utility Knife has a plain edge and medium sized blade at 12cm. It is a brand-new Global Knife and makes up part of our new Little Essentials range of 12 kitchen knives. A great multi-tasker, use this plain edge utility knife for a range of slicing and dicing tasks in the kitchen for both hard and soft foods. A plain edge utility knife is also the ideal tool for peeling fruit as offers a straight and clean cut.
The GS-108/UT is a versatile knife which is perfectly balanced, comfortable to hold and can be stored in our Little Essentials Knife Dock Set for safety. This new plain utility knife retains Global’s ® superior quality and impeccably sharp edge.
The G-57 is a chef's knife and like the standard Global chef's knives can perform most roles in kitchen. The G-57 is set apart from the other chef's knives by its deeper blade. So the knife is more predisposed towards chopping vegetables. If you just needed one knife for the kitchen, but that vast majority of what you are doing is cutting vegetables, we would recommend this blade. It is quite similar to a Santoku knife, in fact it's halfway between a classic chef's knife shape and a santoku. Having actually laid the G-46 Santoku knife next to this blade, the difference between the knives is minimal, the difference being the slight absence of a Santoku's lambs foot ending. So this knife could also be described as a 16cm Santoku knife.
Consider as an alternative to a G-2, or a vegetable chopper. The G-64 is also offered as the same blade with fluting.
The GS-13 is quite similar to the GS-11 and is a sister knife to it. The GS-13 has very slight serrations along the edge of the blade. Not as pronounced as a fully serrated blade, we find that these small serrations actually work really well with fruit that has a firm skin, but watery center where you do not want the contents to go flying everywhere! The serrated blade is able to saw through the skin while keeping a very clean cut. We feel that this works particularly well with tomatoes, plums, nectarines and grapes. The knife is a utility knife though and can be used for most kitchen tasks.
The GNS-08 is a scalloped or serrated version of the GNS-06. The teeth make it really good for cutting through vegetables with touch skins and soft interiors such as tomatos, plums and kiwis. This knfie can also be used as a small bread knife.

The Global Ukon GUS-20 Small Santoku Knife is a great all-rounder knife and one of its key features is the indentations on the cutting edge. These small divets create little air pockets between the blade and your ingredients, to prevent slices from sticking as you cut. The GUS-20 is excellent for prepping medium vegetables, meat and fish.
The GF-27 is a specialist knife blade for butchering raw meat. The curved thin blade is designed to slice through joints in raw carcasses. The shape of the knife with its right angle curve in the blade is made to slash across flesh and so separate the meat from bones, ligaments and other parts that are not wanted. It is a specialist knife and does not work well for cutting or chopping vegetables and other regular kitchen work.
The GF-27 has a bolster, which gives it an edge over the bolster-less G-28. This is particularly useful when the juices from raw meat can make the knife handle slippery, having the bolster there gives you slightly better grip, control and confidence when using the knife.
The butcher knife shape comes from a very old design of knives used for a huge variety of tasks such as cutting up food and skinning animals.
The G-30 is a specialist filleting knife. It is very similar to the G-21 and effectively does the same task as the filleting knives in the GLOBAL filleting tool collection, however this is the shape and design preferred in the Scandinavian market. In fact, this knife was made specially for Swedish fans of GLOBAL who had always wanted their style of fileting knife to be made available in the GLOBAL range. It has a long and flexible blade to effortlessly get between the skin and the flesh of a fish. It would also make a good Iberico ham slicer; for other meat cutting tasks we suggest a specialist meat knife.
- 21cm Flexible Blade
- Ultra sharp 15° cutting edge
- Perfectly balanced ergonomic design
- Made in Japan
One of the problems of the Global Ni series is that the cook's knife is sort of a hybrid between a classically shaped cook's, santoku and vegetable knife, so when we say this knife is the Global Ni santoku knife it looks very similar to the cook's knives. The only slight difference is that this knife has a deeper blade and it is slightly flatter making it better at chopping rather than slicing. The Global Ni Santokus come in 3 different sizes, a middle size, the GNM-05 and a mini 11cm the GNS-03.
The GLOBAL GS-100 Cook's Knife features a 16cm blade that is ideal for a wide range of everyday kitchen tasks, from chopping vegetables and herbs to slicing meat and preparing fish. Its versatile design makes it an excellent all-round knife for both home cooks and professional chefs.
