This Global six piece set is a compact route into the Classic system: five working knives plus the block, centred on the 18cm cook’s knife. It also includes a 16cm bread knife, a 14cm vegetable knife, an 11cm utility knife and an 8cm paring knife.
The pieces cover genuinely different jobs rather than repeating the same blade at several sizes. Every knife uses Global’s Cromova 18 steel, 15° edge and balanced stainless-steel construction. Made in Japan.
Build your own set if you already know you prefer a full-size G-2, need specialist carving/boning knives or want to mix brands by job.

Lucy's Verdict
A disciplined GLOBAL starter block: five useful blade shapes, no steak-knife padding.
Lucy · Head of Curation
Why we chose it
We chose this set because the piece count is honest. Cook’s, bread, vegetable, utility and paring knives give a new kitchen meaningful coverage without filling the block with near-duplicates.
Who it's best for
Buy it if you want the GLOBAL feel across a complete core setup and prefer buying one coherent set to selecting knives individually.
