I really like the asthetic of these knives. The cobbled textured metal is really cool. I wish I knew the steak knives are serrated  for the money, these knives will certainly do the trick... Im a bit spoiled and am used to working with premium quality knives (I work in a fine dining high end restaurant) so Im more picky than  most with my blades, but didnt want to plunk down  100 for one knife. I think these will work out just fine. They have a great weight to them, and the blades are nice and sharp straight out of the packaging. Overall Im pleased
