In this picture, you can see that 1. the lofts have knobs, 2. the overhead cabinets above the counter have no pulls at all, and 3. the cabinets below counter have profile handles, which are fitted along the upper edge. All you can see in the case 3 is a slight projection which you can pull out. There are other options too among profile handles. In the case of the upper cabinets, we just projected the bottom edge of he shutters about 1/4" below the box, so that one can easily pull open the shutter with a finger tip.
'Pros' are that the finish looks sleek and seamless, especially when all the shutters are finished in the same colour.
The 2 main 'cons' in the case of handle-less shutters is that 1. greasy finger marks can appear on the front face over a period of time. 2. there is a high probability of the user trying to pull at a shutter on the side where the hinge is. Handles allow the user to immediately see in which direction a shutter (or a pair of shutters) will open. If there are no handles, it is hard to tell and over a period of time the hinges could come loose. This is also the reason I don't fix the handles in the middle of the width. It was very fashionable to do that at one time, but it is just plain inconvenient
