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.

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.

The Global G-7 Oriental Deba is a traditional Japanese knife with a one sided grind and it is essentially the G-4 with a single bevel. It is a short but heavy knife, made to cut up whole fish. The blade is squat and has some weight to it, signifying its strength in chopping.

The weight of the deba knife allows it to cut through fish bones to sever the head and tail from the fish and this is what it is designed to do. Using the tip of the blade you can also fillet fish, Japanese style. As a traditional Japanese knife we do not recommend purchasing this knife, if you are looking for a general purpose cook's knife. If you like the shape of the knife but wish to use the blade for more European style cooking, we recommend the G-4.

The oriental Deba also comes in a smaller size as the GS-4.

The G-5 Vegetable Chopper has been a long-time customer favourite as it makes chopping, slicing and prepping vegetables effortless. Taking inspiration from Japanese Usuba (Vegetable Knives), the relatively flat part of the blade is designed to effortlessly chop through fruit and vegetables by coming into full contact with the chopping board for a clean cut. The front of the blade is more curved so the knife can be rocked gently forward after each cut and encourage good technique.

• 18cm Flat blade with curved front

Because of its popularity, there are quite a few variations of this knife. 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.

As a chef's knife the G-4 is suitable for most kitchen tasks, slicing, dicing and chopping. There is very little difference in performance between the G-4 and the classic chef knife, the G-2. The difference is cosmetic, i.e. the kink in the blade. This gives the knife an 'oriental' styling, but it bears no meaning to the function of the knife. It is not designed specifically for oriental food, or oriental ways of using a knife, it is just a different shape of cook's knife. It does have a nice upward curve to the blade, which when cutting with the knife allows it to rock up and down on the chopping board, a bit like a mezzaluna.

The shape has been so popular that the second new series of Global knives, the Global NI series, has been based on this knife design. The G-4 also comes in a fluted version as the G-66 and in a smaller size as the GS-58.

The G-3 is GLOBAL’s Classic carving knife, the ultimate kitchen knife for slicing and serving roasted meats with precision and ease. A specialist knife with a razor-sharp blade developed for clean, even cuts of turkey, roast beef, ham and other meats. A true kitchen essential because the best cuts of meat demand the best equipment.

• Professional carving knife for precise meat slicing
• Long & narrow 21cm blade
• Ultra sharp 15° cutting edge
• Ergonomic hollow handle for comfort & balance
• Hygienic one-piece construction

We recommend pairing the G-3 meat cutting knife with one of GLOBAL's carving forks, either the G-13 or the GF-24 to make a carving set. The G-82 is the fluted version of this knife.

The GSF-49 is very similar to the GSF-22 the main difference being a slightly deeper blade. The blade has a slight hilt which gives you more height for cutting over the GSF-22, this is a slight improvement but in truth there is very little difference between this knife and the GSF-22. The knife is an excellent all round performer and can do any kitchen task.

The GSF-46 GLOBAL Peeling Knife is the perfect small kitchen knife for precision cutting, slicing, trimming and peeling fruit and vegetables. Designed for delicate tasks, the GSF-46 has a slightly deeper blade than the GSF-15 for increased control. A fully forged, all-round paring knife ideal for everyday food preparation in both professional and home kitchens.

With its razor-sharp edge and lightweight balance, the GSF-46 offers exceptional control and sharpness for detailed prep work.
