What makes a perfect steak knife?

High-quality steak knives have the following characteristics:

• very sharp or serrated edge
• a blade 10 to 15 cmlong depending on the manufacturer
• extremely durable and robust blades that can only be guaranteed by high-quality workmanship
• are made of carefully selected steel - stainless steel or carbon steel, offering the ideal balance between stability and flexibility
• are perfectly weighted and fit the hand as well as possible

Why do I need a special knife for steaks?

Have you ever heard the phrase ‘a juicy steak’? We are sure you had but for a steak to be like that you need a knife that will cut the meat in a way that will prevent all the juices from coming out. If the meat fibres are cut through with a sharp blade you prevent the meat from fraying and the meat juice is preserved.

Remember that steak knives are also perfect for all kinds of grilled meat, as well as pizza and other tasty bites!

Why are steak knives serrated?

There are two types of steak knives – with or without serrated blade. Steak knives with serrated edge make it easier to cut the steak as a higher pressure is exerted on the steak. Steak knives without serrated blades need to be sharper than standard dining knives to ensure easy cutting through crispy meat and crusts.

How do I care for my steak knives?

If you want your steak knives to last for generations you should make sure you properly care about them:

• steak knives are dishwasher-safe but we recommend you clean the knives by hand as dishwasher detergents can damage the surface of a steel blade.
• if the knives have a wooden handle, do not put them in the dishwasher
• to prevent wooden handles from becoming dry, regularly oil them with linseed oil or beeswax
• keep your steak knives separately so that the blades do not get dull. Use a knife block or a case in which your set of steak knives was bought
• sharpen your steak knives like regular knives but be careful with serrated edges. There is no such thing as an automatic serrated knife sharpener so you need to do it manually with a ceramic honing rod. Still, it’s better to take your serrated steak knives to a specialist.
