All Global Classic

The G-81 is the fluted knife in the classic Japanese Vegetable style. It is perfect for cutting vegetables from lettuce, onions, cabbage and cucumbers. If your a vegan or have recently taken on a more healthier lifestyle then this knife would be ideal in getting everything cut and ready. It also has a fluted edge which stops pieces of the vegetables getting stuck to the blade, this is because it collects pockets of air in the fluted area of the knife as you are cutting it which stops the vegetables from sticking.

You can also opt for a santoku knife which is a good all rounder and is also used by professional chefs for cutting vegetables but also do other stuff in the kitchen. The flutes will work particularly well for this knife as it is a specialist vegetable knife. 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.

Michel Roux Jr asked Global Knives to create a wedding knife for his daughter's wedding. Global Knives said the minimum order was a dozen knives so 2 were given to the Roux family and there were another 10 remaining. These rare knives are now available to purchase from knives from japan's website and there will not be any further stock for them in the future. Which makes it a great collectors item or perhaps it could be used by an wedding events organiser. If you know someone that is a great fan of global knives and you want to make their wedding day special then this wedding knife would really stand out.

A Yanagi is a specialist Japanese knife for slicing pieces of fish for sushi and sashimi. The long blade is to allow the chef to make long broad strokes to make sure that the cut is made in one go. Global's Yanagi Sashimi slicers are ground in typical Japanese fashion with a single bevel on the face of the knife. The single bevel is to allow professional chefs more control to control the thickness of the sashimi slices and make sure the cut is perfect for presentation.

Global make two versions of the Yanagi Sashimi, the G-11 has a 25cm blade and the G-14 has a 30cm blade.
