Steak Knife Features and Designs
Use steak knives at the dinner table while you eat to cut steaks and other meats. However, these knives can also be used for slicing vegetables, tomatoes and other small fruits.
Some steak knives feature straight cutting edges and others feature a serrated edge. Both cut well and it comes down to your personal preference as to which type you choose to use. Remember, these knives aren't used on cutting boards, they're used right on your dinner plate.
Several brands are known for creating state-of-the-art steak knives that offer superior slicing. Explore what these brands have to offer. For example, Laguiole knives feature an iconic profile with slightly curved micro-serrated blades. Depending on which set you choose, the handles might be crafted from materials like wood, stainless steel or even faux horn.
German-made Wusthof knives feature a forged blade designed from high-carbon steel that won't stain or corrode. They also feature an extra-sharp edge thanks to Wüsthof's Precision Edge Technology. Bring sophistication to the table with their Ikon set, which features a distinctive wooden handle on each of the six knives in the set and comes in a handcrafted Italian leather storage roll.
Zwilling knives are exceptionally durable, sharp blades for precision slicing. Their steak knives are no exception and feature long blades and a curved bolster that's comfortable to grip.
Look for other features in our knife sets. Some sets let you add a name or a monogram. Personalizing a set can make a great gift for a new homeowner or newlywed couple. Some sets come in handy wooden storage trays or knife blocks, making it easy to keep your knives securely stored.
The number of knives in a set varies. Most steak knives are sold in sets of four. You'll also find sets of six, eight or 12 knives. These larger sets are great for bigger families or if you plan to hold a lot of dinner parties.
Beyond the Steak Knife Set: Choosing Other Must-Have Cutlery Items
After you select your favorite steak knives, think about what other cutlery tools you need for your kitchen. Prepare your favorite steaks and other meats with the proper meat and poultry tools. For example, make sure you're getting a tender, juicy steak from the toughest meat with our handy meat tenderizers and prepare turkey with the right bulb basters.
Not all steak knives come with an included block or tray. For these knives, store them in one of our knife storage options. In-drawer knife holders keep your counters free from clutter. A knife block stores and sorts knives while keeping them within reach on the kitchen counter, while a magnetic knife bar can be mounted to the wall.
Choosing straight-edged steak knives or serrated steak knives will come down to your personal preference. However, it is important to remember that straight-edged knives will dull faster. Sharpen them regularly with honing steels and knife sharpeners and maintain precision slicing of your favorite meats.
