Steak Knives

JeffM

I am looking to get a nice set of steak knives.  Where to start?

Henkels, get the scalloped edge ones not the sawtooth ever edge ones.

Remember you are cutting on a plate and not a cutting board, so serated is better than straight edge. I'm a Wustof fan, however most of the steaks I cook on the Egg need only a fork, or at most a butter knife to cut. Shun also makes some nice steak knives, and if money is no object, check out William Henry Knives out of Oregon.

Tjcoley money is no object for me. I don't happen to have any

Focker

Not necessarily

Picked up a nice Shun 4 piece SS nonserrated steak knife set with box for $150 on woot several years ago.  Plates are acacia wood. 

More of a wow factor than anything, guests appreciate using Japanese steel when introduced.  And I can easily bring them back to sharper than new with Chosera stones on the Apex.

On a regular plate, it's a waste, Chicago Cutlery would suffice.

@Focker - gotta love woot!

We have a Wustof set that's nice - full tang, holds an edge well, reasonable price.  Shun is definitely more blingy.

Keeping your knives sharp, regardless of what brand, is the most impressive feature of any steak knife.

Well we all know the steak knife supplied by restaurants doesn't cut worth crap, and our pocket knife is much sharper. But ceramic plate is bad news for steel and most knives with curved belly will be blunted quick sharpest steak knives.

Does anyone have good experience with pocket knives that works well as steak knife? Preferably under $60 and plain edge. I'm thinking it'll have to be wharncliffe or tanto point, so there's only one small part of blade contact the plate, to serve as sacrificial point and preserve the rest of the edge.

If they haven't been purchased by now...dang near 9+ years on then the desire may have been vanquished.  
Stay healthy and safe out there.

Oh, boy...like a broken record from maybe 20 years ago...I'd rather spend some money for better quality steaks so I don't need to buy a steak knife which is advertised to cut through a piece of hemp rope! Just sayin...
