Yeah, almost as smooth as a rusty saw.
I just tried these for the first time.. The blade seems very nice.. sharp and such.. cuts well. However, the smoothness was an issue for me. They were not as smooth as I had expected/been led to believe. The first pass was excellent and I was almost sold, but a pass or two later and I found that they were not smooth enough for me to join the cult. Polsilvers on the other hand..
I will keep a few handfuls of these around to visit again at a later date. My blade rotation is rather large.
