The GF-98 Global Forged Cook's Knife 20.5cm Blade is one of Global's fully forged chef's knives. An incredibly versatile knife, it is ideal for preparing meat or vegetables. As a chef's knife it can be used to perform most kitchen tasks and is particularly suited to a commercial kitchen. Additionally the GF-98 Global Forged Cook's Knife 20.5cm offers a smaller blade than some of the other knives in this series so can be used for slightly more intricate kitchen tasks.

The full forged knives are heavier and more robust than the standard G series knives and so they make great professional chef's knives.

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 slime from raw meat can make the knife handle slipped, just having the bolster there gives you a little more drip, control and confidence when using the knife.

The butcher knife shape comes from a very old design. In the wild these knives were used for a huge variety of tasks, for cutting up food, skinning animals and self defense.

This chef's knife can be used for any purpose. It is a really good tough medium sized chef knife capable of performing a variety of kitchen tasks. It is built in the shape of Gyuto, a Japanese style knife, these knives generally have a flat part of the blade towards the heel for chopping, whilst the front half of the blade is curved for slicing and more precision work. The knife has a slightly kicked forward heel to it which provides a semi bolster for a bit of added protection. As a fully forged knife it is stronger than the standard G series of knives and lends itself well for use in professional kitchen settings. A great knife if you are looking for one knife for all tasks. If however you want something a little bigger, consider the GF-33 or GF-34.

The GF-31 is essentially the fully forged version of the more popular G-21 Boning knife. Both knives have long thin blades which make the knife good for getting between the skin and the meat of the fish. The main difference between the two knives is the addition of a bolster. The bolster gives a lot of extra protection by preventing hands from slipping forward onto the blade. The main drawback is the fact that this blade is not as flexible. There is a trade off between the strength of the fully forged blade and have a flexible knife. This makes the knife better for more regular use, in professional kitchen settings, where repeated use of the boning knife is needed.

The GF-36 is the fully forged version of Global’s extremely popular G-5. The shape of the knife is specifically intended for chopping vegetables. The GF-36 has a long flat blade designed to come into full contact with the cutting board with each stroke and create clean cuts of each vegetable. The deep blade will make easy work of heavy vegetables such as sweet potato, squashes and beetroot. The front of the blade has a slight upward curve for slicing and dicing vegetables.

We recommend the GF-36 for professional chefs who do a lot of chopping in the kitchen. This knife will take a lot of punishment and is a lot more robust than its cousin the G-5.

As a fully forged knife the GF-36 has the same blade as the G-5, but is made from one piece of steel from the knife point to the end of the handle and contains a full tang. It feels substantially heavier and has a lot more presence that the G-5, which is great if you think Global knives are a bit too light.

The G-2/AN is the best-selling Japanese kitchen knife ever made! It can slice, dice, chop, and really do anything that you need.

The G-9/AN is Global's classically shaped bread knife. It is a specialist knife, really for use with bread only.

The G-21 is a classically shaped boning knife and is considered to be the standard boning knife in the Global series, it is certainly the best selling Boning knife.

The GS-21/8 blades themselves are not sharp, but are flexible making these knives great for getting under any food that is frying like eggs or burgers, or for controlling runny food whilst cooking. You can also use these knives for spreading icing.

The GS-11/AN fills the role of filleting, carving and 'general purpose' knife.

The GSF-15/AN is a little 8cm blade that is good for all those small kitchen tasks.

The G-74 Sharpening 'Steel' allows you to sharpen your knife using the western method of sharpening. Although we recommend using a whetstone or a pull through sharpener.

The GS-20 is one of three different fish bone tweezers produced by Global. The two prongs perfectly touch each other to grip the smallest bones to make sure you get the perfect fillet of fish.

The GS-76 Global Peeler P Shape is the other version of the GS-94 which is a more popular version of the Peeler because of its shape that allows you to cut from the front rather than the P shape which is side angle.

The set comes with a deluxe leather Global branded leather knife roll and bib apron.

The GF-100 is a Global chopping knife with an extra thick 4mm blade. This makes the knives somewhat heavier and thicker than traditional Global knives. The shape of the knife is specifically intended for chopping vegetables.

The GF-100 has a long flat blade designed to come into full contact with the cutting board with each stroke and create clean cuts of each vegetable. The deep blade will make easy work of heavy vegetables such as sweet potato, squashes and beetroot. With a fully forged blade, the GF-100 is more suited to the professional kitchen and chefs more accommodated to the weight and feel of a German knife.

We recommend the GF-100 for professional chefs who do a lot of chopping in the kitchen.

As a fully forged knife, the GF-100 is made from one piece of steel from the knife point to the end of the handle and contains a full tang. It feels substantially heavier and has a lot more presence than that of other knives, which is great if you think Global knives are a bit too light.

This stunning GF-99 Fluted Cook's Knife 20.5cm is part of our fully forged range of chef knives.

Our fully forged range are heavier but more robust than the standard G series knives and so they make great professional chef's knives. This GF range is ideal if the knife is being used on a regular basis in a commercial kitchen as retains it's incredible sharpness alongside providing the weight and power to chopping that is often required.
