Wow! It's nice to see so many people who love knives!
I'm a Global fanatic, myself. I love the lightness of the blades, and they're hard as hell. It's kind of a pain to sharpen them, but they maintain the edge for about 6 months of 2-person dinners.
The handle and the blade are made of the same piece of metal, so there's nothing to fall off. The handles have little dimples in them (the black bits) that make for a really nice gripping surface, even with wet hands. The bread knife is the best I've ever used. It makes you want to cut bread for fun.
I have the 5-knife plus flat block set. I think it came from amazon. It's about US$400, but they'll never need to be replaced in a home kitchen.
Switching topic slightly:
I can verify that the Martha Stewart knives are surprisingly good. One of my friends got a set and they take a very nice edge. The handle design is a bit strange, but they're cheap.
