Globals are great since you don't have to worry about handles breaking. I've been very happy with the Henkel 4 Star. I would stay away from their cheaper "International" line. Oddly enough, my favorite knife during the holidays is a cheap, restaurant supply boning knife with a dishwasher safe plastic handle. It's great for taking a turkey apart as well as smaller birds and fish. I found that the Henkel boning knife wasn't as flexible as the cheapo.
The white blades are the Kyocera ceramics. Nice and sharp, but don't drop them on a tile or cement floor, they might break!
