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.
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 of knives used for a huge variety of tasks such as cutting up food and skinning animals.
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 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.
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 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-05 Carving Knife features a long, narrow blade that is slightly curved to effortlessly glide through cooked meats and poultry. This specialist knife is stylish, functional and perfectly balanced allowing you to carve the finest slices for your Sunday roasts, BBQ’s, parties and buffets.
The GNM-11 is the fluted version of the GNM-10 carving knife. The knife is perfect for carving large joints of boneless meat. These knives also have long blades suitable for filleting large fish such as salmon and trout.
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.
