Global G-2: a true all-rounder in the kitchen

A good chef’s knife is the one you reach for time and time again whilst cooking. The Global G-2 has a blade length of 20 cm, making it suitable for a wide variety of cutting tasks.

Use it, for example, for:

• Cutting meat
• Portioning fish
• Chopping vegetables
• Finely chopping onions
• Chopping fresh herbs
• Cutting fruit
• All sorts of everyday prep work

This means you don’t have to reach for a different knife for every cutting task.

Blade made from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel

• The Global G-2 is made from Global’s patented CROMOVA 18 stainless steel.
• The blade is hardened to 58 Rockwell and combines sharpness with the properties required for intensive use as a kitchen knife.
• The knife has a grinding angle of approximately 15–17°, characteristic of the sharp edge found on Japanese kitchen knives.

Lightweight chef’s knife

• Despite its total length of 33 cm, the Global G-2 weighs just 172 grams.
• This relatively low weight is one of the characteristics for which Global knives are renowned.
• As a result, the knife feels light and manoeuvrable whilst cutting, which is pleasant when you need to prepare ingredients for extended periods.

Distinctive Global design in stainless steel

• The Global G-2 is instantly recognisable by its distinctive design.
• The knife has a modern look, with both the blade and the handle made entirely from stainless steel.
• The distinctive black dimples in the handle are not just a design feature. They create a non-slip texture that offers extra grip whilst cutting.

Includes a Global MinoSharp ceramic knife sharpener

A sharp knife isn’t just more pleasant to use: regular maintenance also helps to maintain the cutting performance of your kitchen knife. That’s why this set comes with a Global MinoSharp ceramic wet sharpener. This knife sharpener is particularly suitable for Japanese knives and is recommended for maintaining Global knives.

With two ceramic sharpening wheels

The MinoSharp knife sharpener features two ceramic sharpening wheels for sharpening and maintaining the blade. This allows you to treat the edge in several stages and keep your Global knife in good condition. You do not need extensive experience with traditional whetstones to do this.

Knife sharpener with water reservoir

The Global MinoSharp operates as a wet sharpener. Before use, fill the designated reservoir with water. Then, using moderate pressure, move the knife back and forth through the marked sharpening slots. The ceramic grinding wheels help to restore the edge. For best results, always follow the instructions supplied by Global.

Caring for the Global G-2 chef’s knife

• To ensure the longest possible lifespan, it is recommended that you wash the Global G-2 by hand.
• Clean the knife by hand after use and then dry it thoroughly.
• Do not place the knife in the dishwasher. The harsh conditions inside a dishwasher can adversely affect both the cutting edge and the surface of a high-quality kitchen knife.
• It is also best to store the knife in a knife block, on a suitable magnetic strip or with a fitting knife guard.
