Is it shiny on one side and dull on the other?

No, which makes me believe it's untreated parchment. If that's true, then it explains the huge sticking issue. At the moment, all the remaining sheets have been relegated to en papillote preperations and self-made cupcake containers.

No same on both sides. I really haven't had any sticking issue and have used it for cookies and for caramelizing butternut squash.

the knife has the design on both sides the forks and spoons do not, but they are all shiny on all sides. We have been very happy with them and have a nice feel.

It is a dull nickel. Maybe slightly shinier than the picture (due to more light reflection) but not a shiny nickel by any means.

It's kind of in between both. Hard to describe. Does have a semi shiny finish.

Yes they are shiny and will stay that way. Scratches are the usual cause of stainless getting dull as well as hard water. I have had my set for 9 months and use it everyday.It is s shiny as the day it came from the box.

Just installed one and it is more of a matte finish. It is not shiney at all. I think it's very sharp looking, but more of a dull black with a slightly rough texture.

It's not shiny. I just put mine together and it was easy to assemble. Fabric isn't the best quality out there but worth the price. It isn't extremely soft or rough.

Yes, but the one I got was also not shiny. I guess it was "raw" but I didn't like it as much as the one I'd seen before which was polished. It was very lightweight and did not seem that sturdy either.

I ordered this item quite a while ago for a friend and really don't remember whether it was shiny or not.

On any whetstone you should be able to see that one side looks smoother than the other. The finer the grit, the later in the honing process you use it. In this case the lighter side is the finer grit

The one we ordered from amazon was a dull finish. I was wondering the same thing when I ordered. I wanted dull and it is dull.

It's not as shiny as the picture on here, but yes it is shiny, it has a glittery look and works very well. If you're planning on buying this I highly recommend it(:

Yes, it has a finish and stain, but it's kind of a dull, primitive-looking finish. I really like it.

The color is definitely not shiny & bright, but more muted. I think it should dull the brightness of any shiny surface upon which it adheres.

It's hard to tell. The bottom of the inside is polished, but the sides are dull and may be coated. The dullness could be caused by water residue (nothing comes off on my fingers, though). If I has to guess, I'd say that it's coated.

I agree with the previous replies, they are neither shiny or dull. I would say they are brushed.
