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 GS-11 Flexible Utility Knife is one of the more popular knives in the Global range and is frequently found in many of the sets where it fills the role of filleting, carving and 'general purpose' knife, hence its name. The GS-11 has a medium sized blade at 11cm which is good for filleting small fish such as sea bass. The blade is also flexible which makes it suitable for this purpose. It can also be used as a small carving knife and as it says, utility by name, utility by nature. A fluted version of this knife exists as the GS-36.
The GNM-12 is Global Ni's flexible boning knife and is great for filleting fish with its long thin blade. Great for use with seabass, trout or even larger fish like salmon. The shape of the knife also lends itself to working well as a carving knife. If the GNM-12 is a bit big for you, consider the 12cm version the GNS-06.
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 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 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.
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 GU-01 Chef’s Knife is a versatile all-purpose blade that excels at every cutting task you can think of in the kitchen. The GU-01 is great for chopping vegetables, meat and fish, and it can also be used to finely chop herbs or peel garlic. Whatever the task, slicing, dicing, chopping or mincing, you can rely on this chef’ knife to perform every time.
The G-77 Global Fluted 20cm Chef's Knife is a medium-sized cook's knife that will perform a variety of kitchen tasks. It has a nice sized blade good for chopping, slicing and dicing and is useful whether you want to cut up vegetables or slice meat. It features improved flutes to the blade to prevent sticking.
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 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.
This chef's knife can be used for any purpose. It is a really good tough medium sized chef knife capable of performing a variety of kitchen tasks. It is built in the shape of Gyuto, a Japanese style knife, these knives generally have a flat part of the blade towards the heel for chopping, whilst the front half of the blade is curved for slicing and more precision work. The knife has a slightly kicked forward heel to it which provides a semi bolster for a bit of added protection. As a fully forged knife it is stronger than the standard G series of knives and lends itself well for use in professional kitchen settings. A great knife if you are looking for one knife for all tasks. If however you want something a little bigger, consider the GF-33 or GF-34.
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 little brother to the G-1, featuring the classic GS Global handle, the GS-2 has the same blade, but shorter at 13cm. The round end to the blade allows you to slice into boney meat like chicken and duck without the tip of the blade catching in the bone. The GS-2 is basically the GS-3 with a rounded end and therefore can also be used as a general purpose cook's knife for cutting and chopping.

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-10 is a specialist salmon slicer. It has a really long and thin flexible blade that makes it suitable for this purpose only. These knives are typically used for cutting pieces of smoked salmon or trout, the blades are ideal for slicing long thin pieces, which is how smoked salmon is traditionally presented.
The handle is the same as other G series knives and is comfortable to hold. There is a gap of about a inch from the handle where the blade is not sharpened to provide a bit of protection. This is the longest knife blade that Global produce and as such does not fit in any of the blocks and also may not slot in a drawer. Ideally it needs to be put on a magnetic rack.
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 SAI-02 is Global SAI's carving knife and is perfectly suited for the task. It has a long narrow blade suitable for carving even slices of your favourite joint. It is quite a substantial knife with a lot of presence and is best suited towards larger cuts of meat. The knife has quite a similar profile to the chef's knives and can be used as a multi purpose slicing knife.

The G Series of Global knives is a classic collection of large longer bladed knives with weighted hollow handles, used for general food preparation. All knives are made in two parts with the blade and the handle being welded together. The blade itself is made of Cromova18, Global ’s special blend of Molybdenum Vanadium steel, which makes the knife hard compared to European blades and able to retain a decent edge for a long time. Global ’s special feature though is that the knives are ground down to a very acute angle (15 Degrees) down the face of each side of the blade. Rather than having a beveled edge, this is how Global knives are renowned for being so sharp and for staying sharp for such a long time. Global were one of the first Japanese brands into the UK market and have built up a cult following and the brand is well recognized. Always wash your knives by hand, dry thoroughly and never put them in a dishwasher. All Global knives are covered by the manufacturers guarantee against faults and defects. Knives should be stored in a block or other protective case to protect the blades and always kept out of reach of children. Knives cannot be sold to any person under the age of 18. When you place an order with us, you are confirming that you are 18 or older. Sometimes we may ask for proof of identification.

The G-84 is the fluted version of the G-57 chef's knife and like the standard Global chef's knives can perform most roles in kitchen.
Like it's brother it is set apart from the standard chef's knives by its shorted fatter blade. So the knife is more predisposed towards chopping vegetables. The profile of the knife is similar to a Santoku knife and the knife could be described as a 16cm fluted Santoku Knife.
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.
The Global GS-101 makes quick work of slicing meats, such as roasts and ham.
The G-82 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 not well suited to other tasks, but that should not really matter, because the best cuts of meat demand the best equipment. Having a super sharp Global carving knife will ensure all your cuts of meat are thin and tender. We recommend pairing the G-82 with one of Global carving forks, either the G-13 or the GF-24 to make a matching set. Fluted to prevent food from sticking to the blade.
The GF-37 is Global's fully forged carving knife. It features a long 22cm blade, which can easily slice through the best cuts of meat. the addition of a bolster gives a bit of extra protection. With a long narrow blade the knife can also be used for filleting fish, slicing fish or preparing sashimi. It makes a poor chopping knife, because the blade is in line with the bottom of the bolster, meaning the knife can only really be used for slicing by drawing the knife backwards.
As a fully forged knife, it has a lot more strength than the standard Global carving knife and the GF-37 is fantastic for professional settings where a carving knife is needed in constant use. These make brilliant knives to use where food is brought to the table and carved in front of people, repeatedly.
It provides an alternative to the G-3, if you prefer a bolster on the knife.

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 particularly 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.
