The Victorniox knives are very good. On the link above you can get a decent set for £70 (bit above your budget, but a good deal).
+1 broken Global here (12in chefs knife) - was crushing garlic with the flat of the blade and it went exactly where those others above have. I had been dishwashing it for 3 years though so tbh I've probably only got myself to blame.
I've used these for years, very happy with them...
These look pretty tasty: http://nipponkitchen.com/acatalog/Tojiro_DP_Range.html
I think the problem with Global knives is that the blades are welded to a hollow handle, so they can fracture at the joint if stressed. The Tojiro knives are full tang with riveted handle slabs so much stronger. Personally, I'd rather spend a little more and have one of these: http://nipponkitchen.com/acatalog/DP_Damascus.html
I do have a Global, and the blade is slightly off centre, and I thought about trying to bend it straight, glad I didn't now.
