Global Classic

If you needed just one knife for your kitchen go for a quality chefs knife like the G-55. It can slice, dice, chop, and really do anything that you need. A multi-purpose knife with an 18cm blade. It's slightly smaller size with the large G series handle gives you more control, especially if larger knives feel overwhelming. All chef's knives will do the same task in the kitchen, the size is just a matter of preference. 

The GSF-18 is a knife specially designed for use with shellfish, we would not really recommend it for any other use. The short blade is designed to get inside the shell of an oyster or scallop to cut the connection between the two halves of the shell. The short blade is designed to withstand this heavy kind of twisting, where a longer knife might break.

The GSF-15 GLOBAL Peeling Knife is the perfect small kitchen knife for precision cutting, slicing, trimming and peeling.  Designed for delicate tasks, the GSF-15 is the most popular Global petty knife. A fully forged, all-round paring knife ideal for everyday food preparation in both professional and home kitchens. 

• Fully forged, durable knife
• High-quality Japanese stainless steel
• Versatile, all-round blade
• Ultra sharp 15° cutting edge
• Ergonomic design

With its razor-sharp edge and lightweight balance, the GSF-15 offers exceptional control and sharpness for detailed prep work.

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.

Many Japanese knife manufacturers traditionally produced a specialist knife with one-side grinding known as “Kiritsuke”. It required considerable skill to use effectively, and in many Japanese restaurants, only the head chef was allowed to use one. The Kiritsuke Knife thus became considered to be a symbol of expertise, status and seniority.

Feeding off this tradition, Global ® Knives proceeded to engineer a Double-Edged version of the Kiritsuke in their Classic series to fashion a very versatile knife. This knife can be used to perform most of the tasks normally done with a Gyuto or Chef’s Knife, but also those of the Nakiri and Sujihiki. It has less curvature than the typical Gyuto, making it less suited for “rocking action chopping” but perfect for a “push and pull” cutting action. The tip of the blade is particularly suitable for fine dicing and chopping.

Originally developed for the Roux Scholarship judges, only a further 500 of these exclusive knives have been produced so far and are available on a first come first served basis!

The G-97 is Global's classically shaped bread knife. It is 2cm shorter than the G-9. It is a specialist knife, really for use with bread only. The teeth are made to saw through the crust of bread but could also be used for some tough meats, for example crackling. The funny thing is, the Japanese do not really eat bread and so it is one of those products that they never really understood! If you look closely at the knife blade you will see that on the face of the knife, the teeth have a chamber whilst on the back of the knife, the face is flat. When you cut into bread, you will automatically cut inwards in a curve rather than straight down and the chamber is there to help correct this so that your slicers will be more of a similar thickness all the way through. Whilst the G-97 can be used by left handers, the set up is right handed.

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-50 is a Chinese chef’s knife, a multipurpose knife used by Chinese chefs in the same way that Western style chef’s knives, like the G-2, are used. These rectangular knives, referred to in Chinese as Gudao, are used for chopping vegetables, cutting through some softer bones and mincing meat. In fact, it is typically the ONLY knife that a Chinese chef will use. 

• Chinese chef’s knife
• Extremely versatile, all-round blade
• 4mm Blade thickness
• Ultra sharp 15° cutting edge
• Smaller G-49 Chinese Chopper available with 17.5cm, 2.2mm blade

While these Chinese Choppers look like cleavers, they are not suitable for this task due to the thinner blades.
