The little brother to the G-1, featuring the classic GS Global handle, the GS-2 has the same blade but shorter at 13cm. The round end to the blade allows you to slice into boney meat like chicken and duck without the tip of the blade catching in the bone. The GS-2 is basically the GS-3 with a rounded end, and therefore can also be used as a general purpose cook's knife for cutting and chopping.
