The G-29 is another fairly specialist knife in the G series line. The knife is suited for work with medium sized fish and is a bit of a crossover between a cook's knife and a chopper. It's also perfectly suited for cutting up chicken, turkey or other poultry that may be cooked whole. The deep blade is designed to help the knife cut through bones to remove fish heads, tails and fins, as the knife can be swung down onto a chopping board. Useful for preparing fish if you like to buy your fish whole, this knife will also create deep slices to serve up.
