The GN-004 is Global Ni's large size bread knife and has a saw like blade for sawing through the crustiest loaves of bread. If you have bought a Global Ni series we do advise caution though as this blade does not fit in some of the smaller knife holders. For those looking to complete their collections we also suggest the GNM-09 bread knife which has a slightly smaller 21cm blade.
The GN-005 is Global Ni's larger carving knife, also known as a slicer knife. Perfect for carving Sunday roasts or filleting large fish.
One of the problems of the Global Ni series is that the cook's knife is sort of a hybrid between a classically shaped cook's, santoku and vegetable knife, so when we say this knife is the Global Ni santoku knife it looks very similar to the cook's knives. The only slight difference is that this knife has a deeper blade and it is slightly flatter making it better at chopping rather than slicing. The Global Ni Santokus come in 3 different sizes, a middle size, the GNM-05 and a mini 11cm the GNS-03.
