Why this product earns its place
A boning knife lives in the hand of a butcher or fishmonger for hours at a time, so balance and edge are everything. The Global G21 combines Molybdenum-Vanadium stainless steel — harder and more wear-resistant than standard stainless — with forged construction that creates a blade spine in perfect balance with the handle. The result is a knife that doesn't tire the hand.
At 290mm in total length with a slender 11mm blade width, it's designed for surgical precision. You work it through tight spaces: between ribs, along the natural seams of meat, through fish backbone and flesh. The sharp edge cuts cleanly without crushing, which matters for meat quality and food safety. Japanese knife-making discipline runs through this design; Global's craftsmen hand-forge each blade to ensure consistency.
This is a butcher's tool, not a kitchen utility knife. If you're breaking down carcasses, filleting fish, or preparing meat professionally, the G21 is engineered for that work. It earns its keep.
