Need a recommendation for modest priced Steak Knives?
The best thing I did is purchased non-serrated steak knives and a worksharp belt sharpener. I'm not even sure what knives I have but I got them from one of the kitchen stores because I liked how they felt. Sharpen them up every month or so and I've had no issues with my knives. Is it fun, nope, but I haven't had many issues either with my knives the past 3 years or so. Also a good excuse to sharpen up the big game knives and fillet knife so they're aways ready.

For those that can just sharpen them by hand, you have talents that I don't!

Did someone ever make a decent non-serrated steak knife??

I've purchased nice heavy built ones on occasion - and I find myself reaching for the cheap and lightweight 30 yr old Farber with the thin/cheap (stamped?) blades.

Makes non sense - but they simply function/feel better.

ive got some wusthoff ones that are pretty decent, had them for 20 years now. If you cut on hard plates of course it will dull the blade quickly, but if you use plastic/wooden plates they hold up pretty good. Anything with a straight edge pretty much cannot hold up cutting on glass, except maybe ceramic blade knives...

I never really thought about it until now, but there's a squeegee-like "squeak" I feel/hear when I cut steak with a non-serrated knife - and it bugs me somehow.

I'm definitely "on the spectrum" I guess.:ROFLMAO:

My steaks cut with a butter knife, you guys don't need better knives, you need better cooking skills.

I am that way with someone chewing on an ice cube. I about have to leave the house

I like a serrated steak knife. I bought the ginsu 6 piece set off of amazon. They're pretty good but I've used better ones. My Mom has some old serrated steak knives that I really like but can't tell what brand they are and probably not made anymore.

Amazon product
