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.

If you needed just one knife for your kitchen go for a quality chefs knife and if you are going for Global buy the 20cm G-2. The G-2 is the best-selling Japanese kitchen knife ever made! It can slice, dice, chop, and really do anything that you need. A multi-purpose all round blade that is included in virtually every knife set produced. It has won dozens of awards over the years testifying to the popularity of the blade. Global (represented by the G-2) has won the Which? Best Knife category 3 times in a row.

The 14cm GS-5 is the little brother of the G-5 vegetable chopper, with the same shape of blade in a smaller proportion. These knives take their inspiration from Japanese Usaba (Vegetable Knives), the relatively flat parts of the blade are designed to chop through fruit and vegetables and come into full contact with the chopping board and give a clean cut. The front of the blades are more curved like a chef's knife, to allow the knife to be rocked gently forward after each cut and encourage good technique.

The 9cm GS-38 is a beautiful little paring knife useful for lots of little tasks in the kitchen. It is the hollow handle alternative to the GSF-15 and often found in more recent sets

Both the carving knife and fork are crafted in Japan from premium Cromova 18 stainless steel with hollow, sand-weighted handles for perfect balance because the best cuts of meat demand the best equipment.

The G-50 is a Chinese chef’s knife, a multipurpose knife used by Chinese chefs in the same way that Western style chef’s knives, like the G-2, are used. These rectangular knives, referred to in Chinese as Gudao, are used for chopping vegetables, cutting through some softer bones and mincing meat. In fact, it is typically the ONLY knife that a Chinese chef will use. 

• Chinese chef’s knife
• Extremely versatile, all-round blade
• 4mm Blade thickness
• Ultra sharp 15° cutting edge
• Smaller G-49 Chinese Chopper available with 17.5cm, 2.2mm blade

While these Chinese Choppers look like cleavers, they are not suitable for this task due to the thinner blades.

The G-58 16cm Cook's Knife is the smaller alternative to the award winning G-2. It is 16cm in length which makes it easier to use for those with smaller hands.

The GS-14 15cm Scalloped Utility Knife 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 centres. 

For the aspiring chef, we offer larger, more comprehensive professional kitchen knife sets to cover everyday tasks in professional culinary work.

To get the most out of your knives, we recommend a specialised knife storage solution to maintain sharpness such a knife block, knife rack or in drawer storage. We also offer many sharp kitchen knife sets which include blocks, cases or magnetic racks.

The G-49 is a Chinese chef’s knife, a multipurpose knife used by Chinese chefs in the same way that Western style chef’s knives, like the G-2, are used. These rectangular knives, referred to in Chinese as Caidao, are used to prepare meat and fish. In fact, it is typically the ONLY knife that a Chinese chef will use.

• Chinese chef’s knife
• Extremely versatile, all-round blade
• 2.2mm Blade thickness
• Ultra sharp 15° cutting edge
• Larger G-50 Chinese Chopper available with 20cm, 4mm blade

Our 3 Piece Carving Set with professional carving knives and a carving fork made in Japan.

• G-3 21cm Craving Knife
• GF-24 Straight Carving Fork
• G-57 16cm Santoku Chef's Knife

The G-3 is Global’s classic carving knife, long and narrow to carve those perfect Sunday beef joints. There is only one G series carving knife and it is a specialist knife that is not well suited to other tasks, but that should not really matter, because the best cuts of meat demand the best equipment. Having a super sharp Global carving knife will ensure all your cuts of meat are thin and tender. 

The GF-24 will hold your joints of meat securely in place while you carve your pieces of meat. The two tines on the end can be inserted into the meat to check that the meat is cooked as the juices run clear.

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.
