How to find the right steak knife

A good steak knife set is essential for all steak lovers and barbecue enthusiasts. It enables precise cuts and makes eating a true pleasure. The selection of steak knives is extensive, and there are various criteria to consider when finding the perfect steak knife.

We have summarized the most important ones for you.

Choosing the blade

Steak knife blades can be divided into two main categories: steak knives with or without serrated edges.

Steak knives with coarse and fine serrated edges

Serrated steak knives have a serrated blade that's especially well-suited for thick or crispy cuts of meat, such as roasts. But the serrated blade is also ideal for crispy pizza or vegetables. These knives are true all-rounders!

Unlike the non-serrated blade, the blade cannot be resharpened at home with a whetstone. However, the serrated edge ensures long-lasting sharpness and will serve even frequent grillers well.

Steak knife without serrated edge

True steak junkies swear by steak knives without a serrated edge. The blade should be extremely sharp. This is the only way it glides smoothly and effortlessly through the meat—for true enjoyment with every cut. A prerequisite for sharpness: the blade should be tapered, meaning it tapers from the spine to the cutting edge.

The handle shape and materials

The shape of the steak knife handle influences comfort and handling.

At bestecke.de, you can choose between steak knives with wooden handles, wood-look handles, plastic handles, and stainless steel handles. Wooden handles with rivets give the steak knife a rustic touch and a high-quality look.

Plastic handles are available in many different designs, from classic riveted handles to colorful creations.

Individual preferences and purposes

The choice of steak knife also depends on personal preference and your decor. For a true steakhouse feel, we recommend our jumbo steak knives , such as the Porterhouse, Selection, or Hercule. They have an extra-wide blade and a wider handle.

PORTERHOUSE is also available as a complete steak cutlery set, i.e. steak knives with matching Steak fork .

If you like an elegant yet unusual design, then our Lou Laguiole knives might be the right choice for you.

Steak knives with stainless steel handles are e.g. our PRIME RIB or Chuletero Are you looking for steak cutlery that matches your flatware? Paul Wirths offers steak knives in the same design for both the Augsburger Faden and Vivendi cutlery series. This way, you can create a uniform look on your dining table.

Care and cleaning

To maintain the quality and sharpness of your steak knife, proper care and cleaning are essential. We recommend washing steak knives by hand. This protects the blades. Even if you've chosen knives with wooden handles, we recommend gentle hand washing. This protects the wood from the moisture and extreme heat of the dishwasher. The handles retain their shape and won't fade. Oil the wood occasionally with linseed oil or coconut oil. This will keep them looking like new for a long time.

Stainless steel or plastic are easy-care materials. They're dishwasher-safe. If you want to protect your blades, we recommend cleaning these knives by hand.

It's better to clean your blades and wooden handles by hand. This way, you'll protect the materials and enjoy your steak knives for a long time.
