The G-21 is a classically shaped boning knife, considered the standard boning knife in the Global series, and certainly the best-selling. The knife has a long, narrow blade tapered to a very fine point, allowing you to work round the bones in joints of beef, lamb or pork and cut out a sizeable piece of meat. The blade is also flexible, which is great for getting under the skin and filleting fish. There are quite a few boning and filleting knives in the Global range, but the G-21 has a bolster, useful where working with raw meat or fish can make the knife slippy, helping prevent unfortunate accidents.
