The knives cut well but in some spots where the white connects with metal, the lines are straight, it almost looks like the metal is painted on. I wish I’d bought the black - the white almost has a western look instead of the modern look I wanted. Also, the steak knives don’t have the bolsters like the rest of the knives so they look a bit cheaper. Overall they serve their purpose, it’s mostly just the aesthetic I’m not a huge fan of.
