Black Friday Knives & Sets

Whether a professional Chef or a budding home cook, this apron will certainly make you want to do the cooking all the time!

The GS-11/AN is the 35th Anniversary edition of the GS-11 Flexlible Utility Knife.

The GS-11 Flexible Utility Knife is one of the more popular knives in the Global range and is frequently found in many of the sets where it fills the role of filleting, carving and 'general purpose' knife, hence its name. The GS-11 has a medium sized blade at 11cm which is good for filleting small fish such as sea bass. The blade is also flexible which makes it suitable for this purpose. It can also be used as a small carving knife and as it says, utility by name, utility by nature. A fluted version of this knife exists as the GS-36.

The newest addition to the Global family is the GS-110, a small 15cm Kiritsuke Knife. Traditionally, Kiritsuke knives are much larger, often over 24cm in length, and are used by Japanese head chefs as multipurpose slicing knives. They typically feature very straight blades similar to Japanese Usuba vegetable knives, combined with the length of a Yanagiba knife. Due to their challenging nature, they are usually reserved for the most skilled Japanese chefs as a symbol of status.

Our smaller Kiritsuke, the GS-110, pays homage to this traditional knife with a slightly curved blade that aids in general cutting tasks, functioning effectively as a small chef's or cook's knife. The GS-110AN model is featured in all special edition 40th anniversary sets.

Traditionally, many Japanese knife manufacturers produced specialist knives with single-side grinding known as “Kiritsuke”. These knives required considerable skill to use effectively, and in many Japanese restaurants, only the head chef was allowed to wield one. The Kiritsuke Knife thus became a symbol of expertise, status, and seniority.

Drawing from this tradition, Global ® Knives engineered a Double-Edged version of the Kiritsuke in their Classic series, creating a highly versatile knife capable of performing tasks typically handled by a Gyuto or Chef’s Knife, as well as those of a Nakiri and Sujihiki. It features less curvature than the typical Gyuto, making it less suited for “rocking action chopping” but perfect for a “push and pull” cutting motion. The blade's tip is particularly adept for fine dicing and chopping.

If you needed just one knife for your kitchen go for a quality chefs knife and if you are going for Global buy the 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.

Global Knives are proud to produce a matching set of kitchen shears to compliment your range of Global kitchen knives. These scissors feature heavy weight cast steel handles and feel very substantial whilst held. The steel blades are thick and strong and contain small teeth to help grip chicken fillets and other meats. Between the handles you will also fit a nut cracker. These scissors will also fit into the butcher's steel slot on most ship shape type Global blocks.

Earth, also known as 'Tsuchi,' symbolizes the firm, solid elements found in our world, with rock and stone being the most evident manifestations. It signifies constancy and possesses a strong resistance to alteration or motion.

In our Tsuchi knife sets, we emphasize their suitability for culinary use, particularly when handling vegetables. Each knife set features the versatile G-46 Santoku Knife, which excels not only as a multipurpose cooking tool but also as an excellent choice for cutting vegetables.

In Japanese culture, the element of fire symbolizes not only the essence of life but also embodies qualities like passion, longing, and vitality. Fire plays a pivotal role in the culinary world and is seen as a reflection of one's inner emotions.

Fire finds its culinary representation in the preparation of meat. Our knife set includes the GS-105, an Oriental cook's knife inspired by the classic Japanese Gyuto knife, along with the distinctive G-2 Chef's knife, both tailored for various culinary needs.

Mizu is represented in cuisine by fish and seafood. Our Mizu set contains a G-83 to symbolize the flow of water and the GS-11 flexible utility knife, which is great for filleting. The Mizu set is suitable for all food types.

The Japanese element wind emphasises freedom and movement, the ability to grow and expand, whether that is the air or the human mind.

Air is represented in cuisine by poultry and the Global Kaze collections have been influenced by knives used to prepare poultry. Knives in the Kaze collection are also fluted, the flutes creating air pockets which prevent food from sticking to the blades.

The G-9/AN is Global's classically shaped bread knife. It is a specialist knife, really for use with bread only. The teeth are made to saw through the crust of bread but could also be used for some tough meats, for example crackling.
