Global knives are supposed to be refined, delicate instruments for preparing food to exact specifications.... not the meat cleaver. It has one real purpose, to smash through bones to cut up portions of meat. The Global meat cleaver features a longer blade and thicker steel than ordinary G range knives to handle the repeated blows of going through bone and onto a hard cutting surface. Compared to most Global knives, it is the only knife which should be swung down like a hammer. Useful for preparing cuts of chicken, creating lamb chops or spare ribs. You can also use one of these knives for particularly heavy vegetables like butternut squash or pumpkin, where a smaller knife might get stuck.

The G-12 also comes with a traditional hole in the blade to be hung on hook above a butcher's table.

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.

Global 25.5cm Diamond Sharpening 'Steel'

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.

Global provide two carving forks in their range, the GF-24 and the G-13. Aesthetically the GF-24 is quite pleasing to look at. Smooth rounded lines finishing in two sharp points. The GF-24 is often preferred to the standard G-13 carving fork. The main advantage of the GF-24 is that it fits in a drawer more easily as it lies flat! The G-13 prongs stick up meaning it often catches the roof of the drawer.

Consider paring with a G-3 carving knife for those perfect Sunday roasts.

GLOBAL Z marks the start of a revolution. The first ever all steel kitchen knife to combine stainless steel with a Diamond-Like Carbon Coating. With a ground-breaking material upgrade and striking new finish, the best-selling GLOBAL G-2 Chef’s Knife just got better.

• Limited Edition. Only 300 blades available
• 20% More durable
• Matte black finish
• Friction free cutting
• Enhanced corrosion resistance

What is a Diamond-Like Carbon coating?

DLC, or Diamond-Like Carbon, is a surface treatment that imparts diamond-like qualities to the blade. This results in significantly increased hardness and durability, enhanced rust resistance and a smoother blade for reduced friction during slicing.

Let the Global Z inspire you to elevate your cooking and experience confidence and ease with every cut.

This high-quality zip up Global Gift Case is suitable for carrying up to 7 Knives. A secure and smart way to carry your knives around which is specifically suited to chefs. These Global Knife cases have strong cutting and puncture resistance.

Global Knives, crafted in Japan to impeccable standards, feature Cromova 18 stainless-steel blades known for their razor-sharpness, hollow weighted handles, and a 15-degree convex cutting edge. Renowned for their distinctive design, these knives have maintained their popularity over the years. To mark their 40th anniversary, Global has introduced a selection of limited-edition knives and knife block sets.

Global's limited edition 40th Anniversary 7 Piece Knife Block features the iconic 'ship shape' knife block set, with 6 of the most popular knives from Global.

The Global 40th Anniversary 7 Piece Knife Block Set includes:

G-4 | 18cm Oriental Cook's Knife - The G-4 chef's knife is versatile for most kitchen tasks such as slicing, dicing, and chopping. Its performance closely matches that of the classic G-2 chef's knife, with the primary difference being aesthetic—the slight kink in the blade. This design element gives the knife an 'oriental' appearance but does not affect its functionality. Contrary to its appearance, the G-4 is not tailored specifically for oriental cuisine or techniques; rather, it offers a different shape compared to traditional chef's knives. Its gently curved blade facilitates a rocking motion while cutting, similar to a mezzaluna on a chopping board.

G-58 | 11cm Cook's Knife - The G-58 knife, measuring 11 cm, is a slightly smaller version of the same knife, featuring the large G series handle. The shorter blade offers better control and may feel less intimidating, especially for those with smaller hands. Regardless of size, all these knives perform the same tasks in the kitchen, making the choice largely a matter of personal preference.

GS-110AN | 15cm Kiritsuke Knife - The newest addition to the Global family, is the GS-110, a small 15cm Kiritsuke Knife. A Kiritsuke Knife, traditionally much larger and over 24cm in length is used by Japanese head chefs as a multipurpose knife for slicing. Kiritsuke knives typically have very straight blades, like the Japanese Usuba vegetable knives, but with the longer blade of a Yanagiba knife. Such knives are hard to use and are usually only wielded by the most skilled Japanese chefs as a symbol of status. Our small Kiritsuke pays homage to the true knife, with a slightly curved blade to aid general cutting and function as a small chef's/cook's knife.

GS-38 | 9cm Paring Knife - The GS-38 is a beautifully designed paring knife perfect for various small kitchen tasks. It serves as a hollow handle counterpart to the GSF-15 and is commonly included in newer knife sets. Its ergonomic hollow handle ensures comfortable handling, enhancing the overall user experience.

GS-55 | 12cm Fluted Oriental Santoku Knife - The GS-55 Oriental Santoku knife features flutes that prevent food from sticking to the blade while cutting. It's ideal for slicing, dicing, and mincing, making it perfect for small vegetables and fruits. This versatile knife is an excellent all-purpose tool for various kitchen tasks.

GS-61 | 16cm Bagel/Bread Knife - The GS-61 is suitable for most types of bread and is a more affordable alternative to the full G-9. Additionally, it serves well as a utility knife for vegetables with tough skins and soft interiors, making it excellent for slicing large tomatoes.

Part of the extensive Global knife range from Japan. This curved chopping blade is razor sharp and makes easy work of herbs but can also be used to dice meat and fine chop onions. Known as a mincing knife in our range but also called Mezzaluna by the Italians (half moon) or Hachoir by the French, this culinary tool is a must have for any serious chef.

The GS-110 Kiritsuke Knife

The traditional kiritsuke knife is seen as a status symbol for head chefs in Japan. Usually much larger, over 24cm in length, GLOBAL’s smaller version pays homage to this knife but with an easy to use 15cm blade. A multipurpose slicing knife for cutting fish, meat and vegetables.

The G-3 is Global’s classic carving knife, long and narrow to carve those perfect Sunday beef joints.

Having a super sharp Global carving knife will ensure all your cuts of meat are thin and tender.

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.

It is quite similar to a Santoku knife, in fact it's halfway between a classic chef's knife shape and a santoku.
