All About Pocket Knives

A lady told me to never cut steaks with a serrated blade steak knife. It tears the meat apart so use a plain blade. What say you? As long as it gets to my tummy I don't care. I see both kinds for sale in kitchen stores.

I agree that serrated knives are terrible but I also don't like sharpening all my steak knives after each meal. Slicing against a ceramic or glass plate isn't the best thing for a non-serrated blade. I'll stick with serrated blades out of convenience.

I'm with you, doesn't matter.
Besides, your teeth are tearing the meat apart when you chew.

This is my steak knife, whether at a restaurant or at home. The Snakewood has darkened over the years, 12C27 dosen't need sharpened after every meal. The only serrated knife I use is for bread.

I’m with you on that one Kris. The only serrated knives I have are also for bread. I can’t explain it, but I have a strong bias against any serrated blade.

So do you have enough of those for the guests? Just kidding, I don't get excited over steak knives, just use what's convenient.

The steak knives I use at home just happen to be a set of Case non-serrated.
At restaurants I use whatever.
I never really thought about this.

Using a nice sharp non serated knife greatly enhances the steak eating experience for me. It’s one of life’s simple pleasures. It’s not hard to cut on a plate without dulling a knife. Although my wife and kids cannot manage it.

A thrift store find missing one. Not tried them.

The fact is that decent quality steak is beyond my budget anymore and I don't need a fancy steak knife for ground Chuck or pulled pork. I doubt the market will ever again allow a good steak on my plate.

My kitchen knife drawer was a fright, so I bought a solution to the problem. Picked up new steak knives too.
