I've had them for more than fifteen years. They're the best knives I've ever used, and a fantastic price here, but most of us only need one chef knife and one paring knife.
The triangular shaped handles on the utility knives are fantastic if you have medium to small hands. My small handed wife uses the veggie knife before anything else in the block. I also like it, as it is very natural to do minces with due to the easy rocking motion you can use with the curved blade.
The small paring knife handle is a little too slim for my comfort, much smaller than a similar wusthof or MAC, but that can actually be great for more detailed work. The blade is a little too small for some things like chopping garlic but works great for fruit or mincing herbs.
The G-2 chef's is perfectly balanced and very sharp, but ours lives in a sheath and is our travel knife because I have large hands. I use a MAC chef's knife instead, solely due to handle shape. The G-2 is a great knife, but for me personally the MAC is more comfortable to hold and use.
We also have a small santoku and spearpoint utility knife with the triangular handles and they both handle well and are easy to use. I have never found them to be more slippery than competing handle designs (with the exception of the fibrox handles virctorinox uses, which is like sharkskin and just sticks to my hands).
For comparison's sake, I have used Wusthof, Henckels, Shun, and MAC knives. The globals come sharper than all of them, and the odd handles are easier to use than most of the standards, with the tiny paring knife being the weakest in the set and the smallish handle on the chef's knice the only downsides.
I think I paid $125 for the chef's knife alone in 2006 and thought it was a deal.

How do you sharpen your global knives?
