Please tell me what type of Asian knife set is this - contemporary double faceted or traditional single bevel?

PLEASE ONLY ANSWER IF YOU KNOW

Based on my use of bunch of Globals - http://zknives.com/knives/kitchen/ktknv/indexbymk.shtml?Global
And all the sharpening I do.

All your globals are double beveled or double grind knives, which is the correct name for that, never heard of double facets before used for that.

Here's the knife edge grinds diagram, and you can see what's the difference - http://zknives.com/knives/articles/knifeedgetypes.shtml

Double grind is no more contemporary than a single bevel. Just westerners traditionally used double and Asians single.

So, if your knife is single bevel of chisel grind, then one side of the blade will be completely flat, or slightly concave. Basically blade profile is like a chisel.

I've used most of the knives in that set and more, none are chisel bevels.
