Not really. They’re not amazing but also not terrible.
The handle design is very polarizing. People either love it or hate it. The high carbon stainless is similar to the stuff you find in Mercers and Victorinox and Wusthof; nothing to be excited about but it’s reliable. Heat treatment is decent for that kind of steel. The prices aren’t that great. In short, you don’t particularly get exceptional bang for your buck, but they objectively don’t suck. I mean….I don’t recommend them. But they’re not bad.

It’s not that they’re bad, per se (full disclosure: I don’t like them). The reason you might have this impression is that the distinctly unique shape of their handle makes it arguably the most polarizing brand. It’s a very narrow, elipse-shaped handle, that doesn’t fit in the hand in a way most prefer for up-and-down motion. At least that’s why the only Global knife I have is a flexible boning knife that I mostly use for skinning fish (so the knife is turned 90 degrees). But the people who like the grip swear by them.

Not quite sure of what you mean by “ global knives”.
But the knife is quite possibly the most useful and inspiring tool ever invented. Right on par with the wheel

No. They are generally made from pretty decent steel and have a good heat treatment. They’re not premium knives, but they’re good working knives and a solid upgrade from the typical stamped crap.

As bad as what? A knife is generally as good as the owner is at using it and maintaining a keen blade. Global knives are at the top end of the trendy kitchen/fashion knife, they look cool and if it says Japan on it, well, it must be good. It is the kind of thing you buy for a wedding gift, but not something a serious chef/cook would get too excited about.
