I'm currently doing the starving college student thing (even though I eat better than most), so I don't have the cash to go investing in a wustof or henckel set (which from my limited knowledge of the high end stuff are the ways to go, just depends on what feel you like more), but I will say that the sabatier set that I have is decent for a mid-grade set of knives. They dull more easily that I would like, though some of that may be from my idiot roommates setting them in the sink despite me telling them not to (and almost losing a finger reaching into the sink to get something). They have a decent balance, good weight (depending on type), and seem to hold up well. For general use considerations I will say that I prefer a thinner blade, makes it easier to do fine work, though if you're not careful (or live with people who aren't) you can screw up the edge on a thin knife so that you have to put in some serious time on a stone. As far as cutco and global go I've never had a chance to use them.
