had a set of globals that i've been accumulating for just under 10 years now, one snapped about 3 years ago (after 6 years of use and abuse), took it back to the dealer i bought it from, it was returned to japan and was sent a new one in 3 weeks.
need to buy a better sharpener, have the minosharp water sharpener but the next purchase will be a proper whetstone.
they've got a lot more expensive recently, the first one i bought was a G5 for £60, thats about what the little ones go for these days!
