I have an order booked for Dec 12th, but will probably add to it. I didn't want to leave it till the last minute, in case they went out of stock of some items, especially as I've ordered some of the Butcher's Specials, which are as of now.

The Sabatiers are getting worn now and will soon need replacing. I'll probably go for Global next, or Victorinox.

I've always liked Sabatiers, for some reason. I think I'd go for those, if I was going to buy a set.
GillE:
I think Global have a better reputation nowadays. Sabatier used to be the best but they were made by a family firm which had a bust up and went two separate ways. Both now produce Sabatier knives but neither produce the sort of quality they once did.
Simon:
That seems to happen such a lot, doesn't it? Shame.

I'd certainly recommend Global, Gill, cheap they ain't, but they are superb tools. If you're ever near here (Milton Keynes), feel free to drop in and try them yourself.
