We bought the Global Synergy set, that is currently being used on Masterchef. Not that we picked them for that reason, but proves they must be good! My brother in law got the set last year. Sales right now are great, we got our 7 piece set (6 knives and a block) for $290, down from $450 rrp. Generally you can buy them online for around $300, and some give a free sharpener in the deal.
