Easter Gift Ideas from GLOBAL

What is the Global G-2 Chef's Knife?

The Global G-2 is a Japanese chef’s knife designed for everyday kitchen tasks such as slicing, chopping, and dicing. Featuring a thin blade, ultra sharp 15° edge angle, and lightweight stainless steel construction making it easier to handle than most Western chef's knives. Loved by professional chefs around the world, the award-winning G-2 is the best-selling Japanese kitchen knife ever made!

What makes the G-2 Chef's Knife a cut above the rest?

• High-carbon Cromova 18 stainless steel for corrosion resistance, durability and easy sharpening
• Hollow, sand-filed handle for perfect balance and control
• Ultra sharp 15° blade edge for smooth, effortless cutting
• Winner of Which Best Knife and the Housewares ICON awards

GLOBAL’s award-winning, serrated Bread Knife designed for effortless slicing of crusty sourdough, soft loaves and delicate pastries. The perfect gift for home bakers, bread lovers and professional chefs.

• Winner of Which Best Buy Award
• Innovative blade design
• Engineered for even slices of bread
• Ergonomic handle
• Corrosion resistant

Designed with serrated teeth with built in chambers, the G-9 clears crumbs easily, helping guide the blade to cut clean, straight and even slices without tearing or crushing the bread.

The G-3 is GLOBAL’s Classic carving knife, the ultimate kitchen knife for slicing and serving roasted meats with precision and ease. A specialist knife with a razor-sharp blade developed for clean, even cuts of turkey, roast beef, ham and other meats. A true kitchen essential because the best cuts of meat demand the best equipment.

• Professional carving knife for precise meat slicing
• Long & narrow 21cm blade
• Ultra sharp 15° cutting edge
• Ergonomic hollow handle for comfort & balance
• Hygienic one-piece construction

We recommend pairing the G-3 meat cutting knife with one of GLOBAL's carving forks, either the G-13 or the GF-24 to make a carving set. The G-82 is the fluted version of this knife.

The GF-24 Carving Fork will hold your joints of meat securely in place while you carve clean, even cuts of meat every time. The two tines can be inserted into the meat to check that the meat is cooked as the juices run clear. A true kitchen essential because the best cuts of meat demand the best equipment.

• Professional carving fork for precise meat slicing
• 2 x 16cm Straight Tines
• More durable drop forged GF Series
• Ergonomic hollow handle for comfort & balance
• Hygienic one-piece construction

We recommend pairing with the G Series G-3 Carving Knife for those perfect Sunday roasts. For a stronger carving knife, consider the GF-37, perfect for professional kitchens and commercial settings.

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.

G-2 Cook’s Knife

GLOBAL’s award-winning, versatile Chef’s Knife loved by professional chefs around the world. As the bestselling Japanese kitchen knife, the G-2 delivers precision, durability and perfect balance making it a fantastic all-round blade for home cooks and professional chefs. 

This is the ultimate Global SAI knife block set, a truly comprehensive set for those that want the best that Global has to offer. Each set comes with a large Global ship shape block that comfortably fits the Global SAI knives and any others you wish to purchase. The set contains all the knives you would need in a home kitchen.

The G-13 is Global's first carving fork, made for Western style roasts. The sharp prongs will hold the joint in place whilst you carve, the rigid structure will allow you to control how you carve so that you have the perfect Sunday roast! The Global carving fork is made of the same materials as the regular G Series items and has the same handle, so it is comfortable and easy use.

An alternative to the G-13 is the G-24 which is a fully forged carving fork. It does the same job, but is flat. It is not as easy to use but fits in the drawer easily as the G-13 usually cannot be stored in one of Global's blocks.

Consider pairing with the G-3 carving knife for the perfect matching set.

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 Ukon 6-Piece Knife Block Set is a real showpiece! It features a stylish and contemporary stainless-steel and black design that will complement any kitchen setting. The knife block includes the GU-01 20cm Chef’s Knife, the GU-03 22cm Bread Knife, the GUM-10 14cm Vegetable Knife, the GUS-22 15cm Scalloped Utility Knife and the GUF-30 9cm Paring Knife.

The G-10 is a specialist salmon slicer. It has a really long and thin flexible blade that makes it suitable for this purpose only. These knives are typically used for cutting pieces of smoked salmon or trout, the blades are ideal for slicing long thin pieces, which is how smoked salmon is traditionally presented.

The handle is the same as other G series knives and is comfortable to hold. There is a gap of about a inch from the handle where the blade is not sharpened to provide a bit of protection. This is the longest knife blade that Global produce and as such does not fit in any of the blocks and also may not slot in a drawer. Ideally it needs to be put on a magnetic rack.

The SAI-02 is Global SAI's carving knife and is perfectly suited for the task. It has a long narrow blade suitable for carving even slices of your favourite joint. It is quite a substantial knife with a lot of presence and is best suited towards larger cuts of meat. The knife has quite a similar profile to the chef's knives and can be used as a multi purpose slicing knife.

The handle design incorporates an ergonomic thumb rest which helps set the right grip for the best cutting technique.

The sharp prongs will hold the joint in place whilst you carve, the rigid structure will allow you to control how you carve so that you have the perfect Sunday roast!

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. We recommend pairing the G-3 with one of Global carving forks, either the G-13 or the GF-24 to make a matching set. 

The G-13 is Global's first carving fork, made for Western style roasts. The sharp prongs will hold the joint in place whilst you carve, the rigid structure will allow you to control how you carve so that you have the perfect Sunday roast! The Global carving fork is made of the same materials as the regular G Series items and has the same handle, so it is comfortable and easy use.

6 Piece Knife Block Set

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.
