CROMOVA 18 stainless steel

The GLOBAL G-2 is made from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, one of the defining features of GLOBAL knives.

This stainless steel combines corrosion resistance, durability and excellent edge performance. GLOBAL blades are ice tempered and hardened to approximately Rockwell C56-58, providing a good balance between hardness, durability and ease of sharpening.

GLOBAL's precise 15° cutting edge

The G-2 features GLOBAL's distinctive 15° cutting edge, designed to provide a sharp and efficient cutting performance.

Its precise edge geometry allows clean cuts with little effort, while the thin blade makes it particularly effective for vegetables, fruit, meat, fish and other everyday ingredients.

GLOBAL describes its 15° edge as one of the defining characteristics of its Japanese knife design.

Seamless stainless-steel construction

The GLOBAL G-2 features the brand's distinctive stainless-steel construction, with a continuous integrated design between the blade and handle.

This design helps eliminate traditional joints and potential dirt traps, making the knife easy to clean and particularly suitable for professional and home kitchens.

Hollow handle and excellent balance

The hollow GLOBAL handle is one of the most recognisable features of the brand. The handle is filled with a precise amount of sand to help balance the weight of the blade and provide comfortable handling.

The characteristic dimpled surface also contributes to a secure grip, while the overall balance helps provide greater control during cutting.

The GLOBAL G-2 20 cm can be used as a main kitchen knife for a wide variety of preparations.

It is particularly suitable for:

GLOBAL G-2 vs a Santoku knife

The G-2 and a Santoku such as the GLOBAL G-46 18 cm are both highly versatile knives, but their blade shapes and cutting styles are different.

The G-2 has a 20 cm chef's knife profile, offering a longer blade and a shape well suited to a wide variety of cutting techniques. The G-46 has the characteristic wider and more compact Santoku blade.

If you want one main knife for a wide range of kitchen tasks, the GLOBAL G-2 is an excellent choice. If you prefer the traditional Japanese Santoku shape, the G-46 is an interesting alternative.

Made in Japan

The GLOBAL G-2 is made in Japan and belongs to the classic GLOBAL range.

GLOBAL knives are known for their all-stainless-steel construction, CROMOVA 18 blades and distinctive hollow handles. The GLOBAL concept was developed by industrial designer Komin Yamada, who created the brand's characteristic integrated stainless-steel design.

The G-2 has become one of GLOBAL's most recognisable models and is designed for both professional chefs and demanding home cooks. GLOBAL currently describes it as an all-purpose Japanese chef's knife for slicing, chopping and dicing.
