If you needed just one knife for your kitchen go for a quality chefs knife and if you are going for Global buy the G-2. The 20cm G-2 is the best-selling Japanese kitchen knife ever made! It can slice, dice, chop, and really do anything that you need. A multi-purpose all round blade that is included in virtually every knife set produced. It has won dozens of awards over the years testifying to the popularity of the blade. Global (represented by the G-2) has won the Which? Best Knife category 3 times in a row.

The 15cm GS-11 is one of the more popular knives in the Global range and is frequently found in many of the sets where it fills the role of filleting, carving and 'general purpose' knife, hence its name. 

The 9cm GS-38 is a beautiful little paring knife useful for lots of little tasks in the kitchen. It is the hollow handle alternative to the GSF-15 and often found in more recent sets.
