Serene Knives?

[missin44]

Anyone have experience with Serene kitchen knives? It looks like they're out of Chicago and use Magnacut steel and pretty much specialize in kitchen knives. Pretty limited selection in what looks to be western style designs. They popped up on FB feed for better or worse that alone makes me a bit suspicious.

For the cost, I don't see the value. The steel is good, but the little cut outs I assume are to aid food release are probably more marketing than performance. And the cost is in the entry level custom or mid-tier japanese range, which can get you some truly impressive performance. Look here on the forums on the Knife Exchange - Kitchen Knives and you can get something made by a maker here for this budget with thinner edge and more personalized style.
