As GLOBAL’s award-winning, versatile Cook’s Knife, we regularly hear from customers that if they could only have one knife in their kitchen, it would be the GLOBAL G-2. This high quality knife makes the perfect kitchen gift for food lovers, professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts. What is a cook’s knife used for?

With the correct knife, GLOBAL knives can last a lifetime. Wash your knife immediately after use and dry with a soft cloth -do not put it in a dishwasher. How to sharpen your GLOBAL knives? It is recommended to sharpen your knives regularly using a GLOBAL pull-through sharpener, a whetstone or a sharpening steel. Review: Fantastic knife - Perfect, have been a fan of global knives and bought this as a replacement for one I stupidly broke (my fault entirely) Review: Sublime. - Working in a kitchen myself (stage), this is a fantastic knife. Using my 8000 grit stones it takes and keeps an edge - with either a gentle stropping or honing once every two days, it lasts fantastically. Clean, crisp cuts with little cell damage - and light enough that it won't tire you out nor require too much force behind it. Perfect balance, for me, at least. No droppages yet - though the welded construction makes me slightly concerned. Still, not enough to stop it being a fantastic knife! ## Features - MADE IN JAPAN: Crafted in Japan from high carbon stainless-steel, GLOBAL Japanese knives are extremely durable, rust-resistant blades - ULTRA SHARP BLADE: GLOBAL’s unique convex, 15-degree cutting edge results in a dramatically sharper knife that stays sharper for longer - ERGONOMIC DESIGN: Crafted with hollow handles filled with sand to perfectly balance the weight of the blade - GLOBAL knives are comfortable and easy to use - HYGIENIC CONSTRUCTION: The one-piece stainless-steel construction eliminates dirt traps for easy knife cleaning and hygienic home and professional kitchens - AWARD-WINNING COOK'S KNIFE: An essential kitchen tool for efficiently handling everyday cooking, meal preparation and slicing and cutting tasks, a truly all-purpose chef's knife - KNIFE CARE: Hand wash only and dry immediately.

Using my 8000 grit stones it takes and keeps an edge - with either a gentle stropping or honing once every two days, it lasts fantastically. Clean, crisp cuts with little cell damage - and light enough that it won't tire you out nor require too much force behind it. Perfect balance, for me, at least. No droppages yet - though the welded construction makes me slightly concerned. Still, not enough to stop it being a fantastic knife! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far have used it a few times and seems to stay sharp for good period of use *by K***P on 12 April 2015* Once sharpened properly, it really makes for effortless slicing, cutting and dicing. So far have used it a few times and seems to stay sharp for good period of use. Quite light and the design of the handle might not be to everyone's liking as it is all metal and fairly slim. It suits me fine and find it easy to clean. Would not go back to using "non-premium" knives. Only downside is that the price in the UK is so much higher than in the USA (even on Amazon itself) and the difference is not fully accounted for by tax and duty. I was lucky to pick one up at an attractive spot price from an Amazon marketplace seller. ## Frequently Bought Together - Global 8" Chef's Knife - Global 3.5" Paring Knife - Global Stage 2 Sharpener-Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/65672505-global-g-2-cooks-knife-20cm-blade-made-in-japan](https://www.desertcart.in/products/65672505-global-g-2-cooks-knife-20cm-blade-made-in-japan) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
