The G-18, G-19 and G-20 are a family of larger flexible filleting knives with the large G series handles designed for heavier work. We recommend these knives for filleting the biggest types of fish, trout, salmon, cod etc where a much larger knife is needed and where something like the G-21 is inadequate. These blades are all really bendy and quite flexible, especially the two larger sizes. The smallest size, the G-20 is moderately flexible and is better for use with meats and can be used as a typical carving knife.
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.
The G-18, G-19 and G-20 are a family of larger flexible filleting knives with the large G series handles designed for heavier work. We recommend these knives for filleting the biggest types of fish, trout, salmon, cod etc where a much larger knife is needed and where something like the G-21 is inadequate. These blades are all really bendy and quite flexible, especially the two larger sizes. The smallest size, the G-20 is moderately flexible and is better for use with meats and can be used as a typical carving knife.
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 G-22 and G-23 are rather large bread knives with a 20cm and 24cm blade respectively. These knives are alternatives to the classically shaped bread knife the G-9. These blades are much deeper than the G-9 and are basically serrated versions of the G-2 and G-16 cook's knives and so whilst they are labelled as bread knives, they could equally double up as serrated chef's knife. The deeper serrated blade will make it better at cutting through larger than usual loaves of bread such as big sourdoughs or tough bread such as rye or black bread which are typically baked to be quite deep. However due to the size and profile of the knife with its tapered point, it would make a great knife for cutting up any large fruits or vegetables with tough husks, such as pumpkin, coconut and pineapple. A good knife to have for tougher jobs in the kitchen.
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.
This 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 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-29 is another fairly specialist knife in the G series line. The knife is suited for work with medium sized fish and is a bit of a cross over between a cook's knife and a chopper. It is also perfectly suited for cutting up chicken, turkey or other poultry that may be cooked whole.
The deep blade is designed to help the knife cut through bones to remove fish heads, tails and fins as the knife can be swung down onto a chopping board. Useful for preparing fish if you like to buy your fish whole, this knife will also create deep slicers to serve up.
