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.
There is one question worth asking here: How much does the paper-cutting test actually matter for a steak knife? On one hand, you want the knives to be sharp. But you don't need, or probably want, a steak knife to be as razor sharp as a kitchen slicing knife. The finer the edge on a knife, the more delicate and prone to damage it becomes, meaning you will need to sharpen it more often.
Without knowing the cost of the knives on display, all but one of the testers stated that they would want to spend less than $200 for a nice gift set of steak knives, and $100 or less on a set for themselves. With that common thread, a clear winner emerged from this test. I have also included the favorites from the high-end steak-knife set options.
