Ive got a set of sabatier ones which are nice. Also got a lovely chinese cooking knife, looks like a meat cleaver and its fecking sharp. Global are very good, but once they lose there edge there are quite difficult to get sharp again. Which ever ones you do buy it best to sharpen with a steel little and often.

I've got a set of sabatier and they're dogwank.

I echo the points above me, Global knives are excellent (use a diamond steel little and often and the global wet stone to bring back the edge, at a 45degree angle) I always bought from nisbets.

victrinox are also excellent knives, i always liked the rosewood handles ones. Eith company are knives you will buy once and if cared for never have to replace. I was over 6 years in catering and i've never had to replace one to this day and im out of that trade now for 3 years.

And whatever you do, dont buy stainless steel. Its very hard to get a good edge on stainless. Although its very hard to use a steel if, like most folk, you dont know what you;re doing.

Global knives are the bolox mate, not cheap but its worth it if you really want quality knives

Global are very good, the chefs that work with me use them and some Japanesse ones

A full set of globals in my kitchen. Cannot be beaten. Make sure you get the proper whet stone sharpener for them though.
