kitchen knife problems?
what is a better knife set 8 piece global or 7 piece classic ikon wusthof or is there a better set for under 500 dollars
I would suggest not to buy a set. in 99.99% of the cases you will end up with more than one knife that you'd never use. Or knives with very similar designation. Either way, you're paying for something you don't need.
As for those two brands. Generally Japanese knives are much harder than their western counterparts, which results in much better edge holding, but increased brittleness, especially under abusive use.
Globals are rather an exception from that rule. Globals are 58HRC, Wusthofs are 56-58HRC or 54-56 HRC, depending on the mode line.
Either way not a significant difference.
Globals are thinner though, and considerably lighter.
Steel used in them CROMOVA 18 is slightly better than Wusthofs X50CrMoV15. But I doubt it'd really show unless you were grinding very thin edges, which itself isn't very feasible with softer steels used in both knives.

So, in the end 2 major deciding factors:
1) Globals are lighter, to me that's an advantage, as the sharp edge is supposed to cut as opposed to popular knife myth "heavy knife will cut for you". Elementary physics will show that knife weight is rather insignificant given sufficiently sharp edge. Only if you really chop the weight comes into play, but you shouldn't do that with kitchen knife anyway.
2) Globals are thinner blades, with thinner edges. ~30deg. on Globals vs. ~40deg on Wusthofs. Makes significant difference for cutting. Forsofter materials Globals will work a lot better. However, wester knife users tend to use kitchen knives for bunch of stuff that isn't really suited for those knives, e.g. whacking lobsters with the chef's knife. For that reason western manufacturers tend to use softer steel and thicker edges. So, you have to decide what type of knife user are you to pick the correct knife 
And finally the design. Wusthofs are more or less traditional western design. Globals are westernized Japanese knives, with distinct style.
Whichever you like the best.
