Global G-9 Serrated Bread Knife 21.6cm Blade

The Global G-9 is a serrated bread knife from Global's G series, designed for professional kitchen use. The 21.6cm blade is made from Molybdenum-vanadium 18 stainless steel and ground to a fine, consistent serrated edge. At 150g, the knife sits toward the lighter end of the spectrum for a blade of this length, which many chefs find reduces hand fatigue during extended prep sessions.

In a working kitchen, a reliable bread knife earns its place during breakfast and brunch service, pre-service prep, and anywhere a clean slice through crusted bread or delicate pastry is needed without compressing the product. The serrated edge on the G-9 handles crusty loaves and softer enriched doughs with equal control, and the blade length is sufficient for most standard loaf sizes without requiring a sawing motion across multiple passes.

Practically, the G-9 offers a few advantages that matter in daily kitchen use:

• Molybdenum-vanadium steel resists staining and holds an edge well under regular use
• Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during high-volume prep
• Serrated edge cuts cleanly without tearing soft crumb or delicate crust
• Balanced handle design suits both right- and left-handed use
• Suitable for dishwasher use, though hand washing will prolong edge life

Global knives are made in Japan and the G series is a well-established range in professional kitchens across the UK. The G-9 is a single-purpose knife — it does bread work well, but operators looking for a general-purpose slicer or a longer blade for high-volume operations should consider whether a different size or profile better fits their prep requirements.
