STEAK KNIVES
For the perfect steak experience, you need a good
cut of meat, the right cooking technique and a great
steak knife. Only a clean cut ensures that the steak
remains juicy and enjoyable throughout. Steak
knives are not just a practical addition. Thanks to
their materials, fine craftsmanship and elegant
look, they are often the highlights of the entire
dinner table.
They are place setting knives, usually with a slim
build and a blade length between nine and twelve
centimeters. A longer blade has the advantage of
being able to cut bigger pieces of meat without a
problem.
A shorter blade, on the other hand, is more compact
as well as easier and more flexible to handle. Unlike
regular cutlery knives, a steak knife is sharp enough
to cut meat into clean bites without ripping or
tearing it.
Steak knives with a straight edge can be used for
very fine and clean cuts. They can cut meat easily
without smashing or tearing it. A special advantage
of this blade is that it is easy to sharpen and
suitable for all meat temperatures.
A steak knife with a fully or partially serrated edge
has a toothy grind. Such a blade makes it easy to
cut even tougher or slightly stringy pieces of meat.
Steak knives with a serrated edge are very popular
choices for restaurants. Despite daily use and being
cleaned in a dishwasher (not recommended), they
retain their edge for a long time. However, when
they do start to lose their edge, serrated steak
knives tend to saw or tear the meat instead of
cutting it cleanly.
Steak knives differ not just in their grind, but also
in their size, shape and handle materials. The
handle is usually of equal length as the blade,
often consisting of premium natural materials such
as wood or stag. Our product range includes olive
wood, rosewood, boxwood, kingwood, snakewood
and paperstone, dyed burl wood, Ziricote, Cocobolo,
Guayacan ebony and stag.
As a set or individual piece, our wide variety of
products will enable you to find just the right steak
knife for your dinner table or knife collections.
