GLOBAL’s award-winning, versatile Cook’s Knife loved by professional chefs around the world. We regularly hear from customers that if they could only have one knife in their kitchen, it would be the GLOBAL G-2 Chef's Knife. 

• Best-selling Japanese kitchen knife ever made!
• Winner of Which Best Knife and the Housewares ICON awards
• Extremely versatile, all-round blade
• Ultra sharp 15° cutting edge
• Ergonomic design

The G-2 delivers precision, durability and perfect balance making it a fantastic all-round blade for home cooks and professional chefs. 

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.

Further it has won the Restaurant Magazines Readers Choice Award 8 years in a row. Sharpest Knife by A La Carte Magazine, Design Plus in Frankfurt, Tried and Tested by Good Housekeeping Magazine, Best Kitchen Gadget by GQ, and the list is endless. After 25 years of its existence, it still stands out as the benchmark in the Global range to which all other Global knives and to which all other upmarket kitchen knife brands are compared. By owning a Global chefs knife you are joining the ranks of thousands of delighted home cooks and professional chefs.

The G-2 is available in many alternative sizes, bigger and small. The G-55 is 18cm and the G-58 is 16cm. They are the same knives in slightly smaller sizes and come with the large G series handle, meaning that the blade is a little shorter. This gives you more control or might feel less overwhelming if you are a smaller person, all these knives will do the same task in the kitchen, the size is just a matter of preference.

The G-16 and G-17 are the two biggest brothers of the Global cook's/chef's line at 24cm and 27cm respectively. These are typical chef's knives, good for any use in the kitchen. The size of these knives means that they are more suited for professional chefs in working kitchens. For home use we would recommend anything from the G-2 and downwards. Aside from the blade length, these knives have bigger more cylindrical handles and a more pronounced bolster to offer added protection.

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 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 knife has a long narrow blade with is tapered to a very fine point. This allows the user to work round the bones in joints of beef, lamp or pork and cut out a sizable piece of meat.

The blade is also flexible, which is great for getting under the skin and filleting fish. There are quite a few boning and filleting knives in the Global range, but the G-21 has a bolster, this is useful where working with raw meat or fish can make the knife slippy, it helps to prevent any unfortunate accidents. There is also a fully forged version of the knife, the GF-31.

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-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.

Global also produce a GF-27, fully forged butcher's knife. This knife has a bolster which provides a bit more protection when working with raw meat.

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 perfectly developed for this precise task. Once you try this carving knife you will understand why it is a kitchen essential because the best cuts of meat demand the best equipment.

Having a super sharp Global G-3 Carvign Knife 21cm will ensure all your cuts of meat are thin and tender. We recommend pairing the G-3 with one of Global's carving forks, either the G-13 or the GF-24 to make a matching set. The G-82 is the fluted version of this knife.

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.

Global's large handle slicer knives come in two sizes, the G-1 at 21cm and the G-6 at 18cm, there is also a small handle equivalent, the GS-2. It is listed as a slicing knife, or slicer knife because of its rounded blunt end. It is very similar to the G-2 in that sense, but is designed for cutting meat into pieces, the idea behind the blunt end is that the tip does not nick or catch as you are slicing through meat and you can smoothly roll it into the cut. These slicing blades work particular well on meat that is close to the bone, such as chicken or duck. Nevertheless the size and shape of the knife lend it to being another all-rounder and this Global knife can be used as a multipurpose knife for cutting up vegetables.

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

• 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.

What can a bread knife be used for?

Whilst designed for cutting bread, this serrated slicing blade could also be used for some tough meats, for example crackling. 

GS-65 Global Utility Tongs & Server are designed for picking up and serving a range of food. They have the Global design style and are made from the same stainless steel as Global Knives so you can be sure that they will not bend under the pressure of the food your picking up. They are also very easy to clean as well as being rust and corrosion-resistant.

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 sicssors will also fit into the butcher's steel slot on most ship shape type Global blocks.

The G-102 Global Cheese and Herb Chopper is a delightful little tool which is the smaller version of the G-12 meat cleaver. Just like its larger version it features a thick steel to handle the repeated chopping going through vegetables and cheese. It is more suited to precision cutting and dicing rather than strong chopping like a meat cleaver. It also comes with a traditional hole which is normally used in butcher's knives to hang on a hook which it is quite handy in the kitchen for if you need it on a regular basis.

This cheese and herb chopper forms part of the Little Essential Range of 12 kitchen knives, each with its own specific characteristics that work together to form a comprehensive range of kitchen knives. Collect them all!

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-36 9cm Paring Knife is a seriously nifty little instrument with a 9cm blade and character hollow handle. It makes up part of the Little Essentials range of kitchen knives which are useful for lots of little tasks in the kitchen. It is the hollow handle alternative to the GSF-15 and often found in more recent sets.

The hollow handle has an ergonomic shape making this little knife comfortable to handle. The plain blade makes this knife great for peeling and coring fruit or vegetables as well as other tasks that require precision. The GS Series is Global's range of small and medium sized knives and accessories which encompass everything from cook's knives to tweezers and spatulas. All GS knives are made with their Chromova18 stainless steel.

The GSF-46 is virtually identical to the GSF-15, but it has a slightly deeper blade. These small paring knives are perfect for little kitchen tasks like cutting up fruit or taking the eyes out of potatoes.

The G-5 has been a long time favourite of our customers and one of the best selling blades in the original Global series. When Global knives first came to the UK, the shape of the blade was quite strange. A long rectangular shaped, flat blade with only a slight knife point. The G-5 Vegetable Chopper 18cm Blade is inspired by traditional Japanese Usaba knives, popular amongst professional chefs in the Tokyo area and a specialist vegetable knife. The idea behind the shape of the blade is that it encourages a straight up down chopping motion where the full blade length will come in contact with the chopping board and so go straight through the whole vegetable. There is no need to push and pull the knife horizontally through the chopping motion.

European cooking tends to use a lot more chopped vegetables than in Japan and so this knife has always been favoured in sets by Global. There are quite a few variations of this knife within the Global range. The equally popular Global GS-5 is the small version, the G-81 is the fluted version and there is a fully forged GF-36 for professional chefs as well.

The GSF-23 is one of a few steak knives made by Global and is great for use in tucking into big juicy fatty Rib eyes and Sirloins. It will saw effortlessly through fatty pieces of meat to give you nice clean cuts. In fact this knife has more in common with the other GSF utility knives than other steak knives as the main feature of the blade is the subtle serration in the blade. This makes the knife ideal for steaks but also works well as a utility knife for softer fruits and vegetables. It would make a great tomato knife, so is a multi function blade.

Global Steak Knife to match other items of Global cutlery. This item is more like a traditional table knife, but Global also make several other shapes of steak knife. The hollow handle does make this knife somewhat more comfortable in a traditional table setting.

Global's GT series of deluxe steel tableware items are designed to compliment your Global Knife range. Each item is made from Satin finished steel and contains Global's famous black dots.

The biggest of the Global spatula range, the GS-27 has a large fanned blade with holes in, which makes this spatula particularly good fro cooking with larger items that are either greasy or tend to fall apart like whole fish. The slanted edge gives a good angle to section of slices or push away grease.

A nice wide Spatula from Global knives good for turning food on a grill or frying pan. Nice and flexible to weave under something, it is convenient for soft food that can fall apart like fish.
