Product Description
The Global G-20 is an 8-inch filleting knife from Global's G series, built for professional fish preparation. The blade is made from Molybdenum-Vanadium 18 stainless steel — a material widely used in professional cutlery for its ability to hold a keen edge through repeated use without becoming brittle or difficult to maintain. It is a flexible blade, which is what skilled fish work genuinely requires.
In a working kitchen, a filleting knife earns its place through predictable flex, good edge retention, and comfortable handling over a long prep session. Whether you're breaking down whole fish during morning prep or trimming portions to order mid-service, the G-20 handles both consistently. The balance and weight suit cooks who work with fish regularly — enough feel to guide cuts accurately without causing fatigue across extended use.
- Edge retention reduces time spent returning the knife to the honing steel
- Single-piece hollow-handle construction eliminates the risk of handle separation in wet conditions
- Full stainless steel construction makes cleaning straightforward and limits corrosion risk
- Flexible blade suits both fine pin-boning and filleting larger round fish
The G-20 is a hand-wash item. Dishwasher use will dull the edge over time and is not recommended for any professional knife of this quality. Regular honing and periodic sharpening are part of keeping it performing as it should.
This knife is well suited to chefs who work with fish as a routine part of their menu, from dedicated fish sections in larger brigades to smaller kitchens where one cook handles all fish prep. If you're building out a professional knife kit or want guidance on what else to pair with it, we're happy to help you think it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The G-20 handles a broad range of fish prep well — the flexible blade is particularly effective for filleting round fish and for fine pin-boning work where feel and control matter. For very large flatfish or heavier butchery-style breaking, a longer or stiffer blade may suit better depending on how your kitchen works.
- Hand washing and drying immediately after use is strongly recommended — dishwasher cycles degrade the edge over time and are not suitable for this knife. Regular honing with an appropriate steel before each service, combined with periodic professional sharpening, will keep the blade performing safely and efficiently.
- Global knives have a distinct balance and lighter feel compared to traditional European blades, which most cooks adjust to quickly. The G-20 in particular is a practical starting point for fish work given its specific purpose, though if your team is new to the range, it's worth handling one before committing to a full kit — we're happy to talk through what suits your brigade.
