does these knives have grooves or just plain ones ?

If you mean "are they serrated", No they are not. I just wanted to slice and dice. Did not want steak knives.

The knives are plain (straight) blades. They are not grooved (serrated). The blades are shorter than you would expect however. After buying this set, I would suggest getting one of the more expensive Chicago sets.

Seems you've gotten lots of answers already...and they are correct. I will say that they are a very easy knife to hold and that they have a good weight to them. I'm extremely pleased with mine. I do hand wash them and dry them right away. They seemed to water spot if left to dry on their own.

Of course they do. Friction will eventually dull even SS edges. The friction of cutting any hot meats will do it more quickly. I sharpen mine using a manual ceramic sharpener. These knives are a good deal for their price.

they are not polished, but not highly textured. After playing them for a week or so, I do find they get a bit polished where I grip them.

Yes, they do. And they are lovely knives! My husband and I purchased 12 a couple months ago.

One side is smooth. One side has grooves. I can't see them well enough to say if they're circular or not.

They don't. Only little plastic covers for the tips. They come in a blister pack. These were my 2nd KAI knife purchase, and I really like them.

I don't believe they are. I got them for my grandson about a year ago if I remember correctly they only had grooves on one side.

They vary between knives. I have two and one if black with light grey (whitish) stripes and the other black with dark grey stripes.

No, they are steel with a colored coating. They have so far been very good knives.

Depends on which one you buy. I purchased a plain edge, but I know it comes in a partial serrated. Not sure about full serrated. Great Knife!

Don, there are finger grooves on both sides of the handle. The way your fingers curl around the knife, you dont really feel the grooves against your palm. All the contours on the handle are pretty rounded and it feels good in my hand. I've had this knife for a few months now, and I reallylike it.The spine of the blade is quite thick and gives the impression that the blade won't easily be snapped under heavy use. Hope this helps.

Mine was plain edge but the serrations they put on the other version might as well b plain edge because they r really mild

They are serrated. They are not "sharpened," per se, but they cut pretty well. The ends are square; they do not come to a point. The just-slightly-rounded corner of the rectangular end of the knife comes in surprisingly handy when cutting various foods. I have no trouble cutting cooked meats with a sawing motion of the knife blade. Hope that helps.

They have to have two edge sides, like the Victorinox chef's knife we got it for, or the Japanese knives. Most American knives only have one edge side (the other side is flat).

No but they are far more functional than any other I have ever had. They seem sharp and more than adequate for cutting meats. I love this flatware and the great knives were an added bonus. Honestly yo can't go wrong with this set, top of the line flatware at a great price.
