The name 'UKON' has many positive connotations in Japanese legend. Our favourite use of the word lies in the expression 'Tachibana No Ukon' referring to the Mandarin Tree that was symbolically planted on the right-hand side of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. It was said to balance the Cherry Blossom Tree on the left-hand side, known as the 'Sakura No Sakon'. Together they replaced the Samurai Guards who had until then protected the Emperor, but who were deemed no longer necessary during times of peace.
In true GLOBAL tradition, the knife is constructed from the best Stainless Steel material and the UKON series features thicker blades to enhance performance. UKON knives are subject to even more precise grinding and finishing work, making them 10 percent sharper out of the box. The knives are designed with an ambidextrous thumb rest that sits closer to the blade for added control and efficiency. The underside of the handle features GLOBAL's trademark indentations, making UKON knives extremely comfortable to hold.
The Global Ukon GUS-22 Utility Knife is a multipurpose knife, ideal for slicing, mincing and prepping. It is a great kitchen knife for everyday use and the serrated blade makes it particularly useful for cutting fruits and vegetables with fine skins or soft insides. The GUS-22 will also glide through other foods such as salami, sausages and bread loaves.
The GNS-06 is a small flexible utility knife made for the Global Ni range and is a good useful alrounder in any collection. The knife performs much in the same way as the GS-11 Global classic utility knife. Good for filleting small fish such as seabass and seabream or as a small carving knife for chicken and duck. The knife is available in a larger version as the GNM-12.
The GNS-02 has a really flat blade making this utility knife particularly good for slicing. The blade itself is not so deep so if you are looking for a utility knife for cut and chopping try the GNS-03.
The Global GS-60 15cm Utility knife is ideal for slicing, dicing and cutting. the narrow blade makes it suitable for filleting.
The SAI-M02 is a really good all round knife. It has a really good mid sized blade length at 15cm which is suitable for a range of tasks. The shape of the blade suggests that knife can be used for slicing and so would make a good small carving knife especially if you like eating chicken or duck. It is also the knife closest to being a filleting knife in the range, so we would also suggest if you are missing a boning knife from your SAI collection that this knife can do the job.

The Global Ukon GUS-24 Utility Knife is great for chopping smaller foods such as shallots, avocado and cheese. This multiskilled knife shares many qualities of a chef’s knife but is well suited to working with smaller food items, allowing for more precise, delicate cutting work. The GUS-24 Utility Knife is also useful as a small carving knife.
The biggest brother of the GSF-15 and GSF-22, the GSF-24 is the largest forged utility knife in the Global range. It is a bit of an odd knife, it is really a bit big to sit in the GSF category, but shares the same profile and flat handles of the other GSF knives. The GSF-24 has quite a long 15cm blade, which gives it better use towards slicing and carving meat. Nevertheless an all-round performer which can be used for most kitchen tasks.
