MIU France Stainless Steel Serrated Steak Knife Pack, Set of 12

 (38 customer reviews)

I bought my set in Dec 2005 and have been using them nearly daily for 2 years. I use them for many kitchen utility tasks like deboning, vegetable slicing, opening up UPS packages, etc. I don't rotate my knives, so there are 3 or 4 knives I have used the majority of the time during these 2 years. I also don't abuse my knives like cutting wire, sheetrock or wood. So they have stayed sharp without any noticeable degradation of sharpness.

Handles are a plastic that is very rugged. Two years of dishwasher cleaning has not affected the plastic at all, no dulling, white hazing nor cracking. Still looks the same when I first opened the box.

At these prices ($6/set or less) don't even think twice. Pick up a set or two for the kitchen, tool box, fishing tackle box, etc. Great bargain and great value.

For $7.99 I got 12 steak knives that not only cut steak,they slice tomatoes, bread, etc. Really sharp! They also fit in my knife block, and the handles match my good set of German kitchen knives. I had considered buying steak knives from the maker of my all purpose knives but the cost was over $100 for 6. It just didn't seem worth it for the price. I'm glad I didn't spend that kind of money. This set works great and it's such a bargain.

This set of steak knives is identical to the one I got from the Kirby man many years ago. ( Let the man do his Kirby vac demonstration and get a free set of steak knives -those were the days!) Anyway, these knives withstood many abuses, including being used as a screwdriver, a letter opener, even a box cutter. They stayed sharp and intact, and didn't rust in the dishwasher. You wouldn't want to use these knives with your best china, but for everyday, they're the best! I had to replace the ones I had because my kids absconded with them!
