A great gift for yourself or a steak fan you know and love.
The blade of a good steak knife needs to be able to take some punishment without dulling too quickly. For this reason, some people prefer a steak knife with a serrated edge, which can take more abuse than a straight-edged blade. There are, however, drawbacks to serrated knives: They are almost impossible to sharpen, and they tear at meat rather than smoothly slicing through it . Straight-edged knives, on the other hand, can be sharpened, and, if properly cared for, will last a lifetime.
But while straight-edged knives may have won in our tests, since our testers did not like having to saw at their meat, you or whoever you are buying the knives for may feel differently about serrated knives.As Daniel did with chef's knives, the first and last tests for this review were performed to check the sharpness of each knife. I ran the blade of each knife, from heel to tip, through sheets of printer paper that had been folded in half.
Also, there's the question of safety. Just imagine if a dinner guest ended up in urgent care because they accidentally opened up a finger on the blade of your steak knives. I therefore didn't disqualify any of the knives based on their performance in the paper test, but rather used the data from this test to check against the performance observations made by testers during the subsequent steak test.
