Oh wow thought they were globals - pretty blatant rip off. I love the global design - other knives feel dirty after using these types of knives with no wood / fastners. It will trigger many of you to hear this, but I will sometimes place my globals on a knife rack in my dishwasher. I have the professionally sharpened once a year and hone them before each use and the dishwasher really doesn’t seem to affect them that much.
We have a full set of Globals, acquired individually over the years. They’re solid knives, and better than any other big brand I’ve tried. My favorite kitchen knives, though, by far, are Miyabi. I have only two, but they’re incredible. I think I’d have to get on some waiting list for a Japanese knife maker who makes each knife by hand to get anything better.
That said, I can beat up my Globals and always bring them back to true. I’m afraid of working the Miyabis too hard lest I do something horrible to the edge.
Those aren’t Globals, but they’re patterned after the Global style. What’s the brand?

I like my Victorinox Fibrox knives for the same reasons (no crevices/pourous handles for germs to hide in and dishwasher-safe).

Looks like it could be the IKEA 365+ set.
Yes these are from Ikea! I have mixed feelings about Ikea in general, but I liked the look of these.
Ooof. Well, you saved a bunch of money getting the IKEA version, that’s for sure!
