Globals are overrated. The handles can also be counter-intuitive and not comfortable for a lot of people.
I would recommend looking at what knives you actually use, what purpose, and get Victorianox, Wusthof of F Dick. I currently use Dick for most things, but if you only need a chefs knife, bread knife, and a paring and filleting one, then just pick ones you like. Before you buy, go to Lakeland or similar and hold them, ordering expensive knives online can lead you to get ones that aren't the right weight for you, or the handle doesn't fit.

If I needed a home set, it would be one of these and a magnetic wall strip. ____________________ Previous: GSF600, FZR600 x2, ZXR750, XT600 Tenere, CB125, CZ125, ETZ 250, ER5, CCM R30, DRZ400, RF600x4, RF900x2, GS500, VTR1000F, 640 SMC, CB250 NIGHTHAWK, GT550x3, GPX750 TE610, CB500, X11x2, SV650, ZING 125, TL1000R,CB250 Superdream, CBR1100XX |

Make your own. Use some leaf spring steel you can find in any gutter near an industrial site.
I have never done this and im just suggesting it because I wish I had a forge so I could. Sad. |

Set 1 are Sabatier, they're ok but you do need a steel as they need sharpening, fairly regularly.
A word of warning though, don't put 'em in the dishwasher, ours have rubberised type handles and they have delaminated.
Set 2 are ProCook Professional X50's, these are very nice knives, they feel very solid and have a bit of weight behind them, they do not flex at all.
They are extremely sharp, I've been using them for 18 months and haven't sharpened them yet, they will still take your finger off effortlessly!
Worth every penny, the best knives I've ever owned!

I went with these in the end, I got 2 Chefs Knives a Paring Knife, Santoku Knife and a sharpening steel for £70. They seem like great quality the handles are lovely to hold and they are sharp. ____________________ Well, you know what they say.

Too late, but I've a 25cm Robert Welch Chef's knife I'm very happy with:
https://uk.knivesandtools.eu/en/pt/-robert-welch-signature-chef-s-knife-2036v.htm
At some point will get a silly-expensive sharpening system to keep it pointy.
This is a 15 degree knife, so needs a bit of care taking with it.
Also been impressed by a 10" Victorinox deep Fibrox handle Chef's Knife - great value. |
