First off, let me say that we don't eat much steak any more (cholesterol problems). We're not steak knife experts who insist on some particular type of blade edge. We do NOT like big ugly steak-house-restaurant type knives on our table. And finally, we don't care a fig about how good or bad a storage box looks. Our knives are rarely stored for long because whenever we serve any meat or fowl, we've always put steak knives out with the flatware. And OH MY, this Wusthof set is *phenomenally* nicer than the equally simple but hysterically expensive black-handled ones from Germany that we've been using for decades. This is solid, sleek, hefty-feeling stuff. The design goes wonderfully with our other flatware ranging from fancy to plain (in fact, the steak knife is actually heavier than some of the flatware pieces sitting next to it on the table). And YES it DOES cut very well indeed -- which is all hub & I ask from any knife!

I have been looking for quality steak knives for a while now and when I saw these I thought they were not only beautiful to look at, but well made. We have been grilling a lot more now that we have them! They feel great in your hand and you can't beat the price. They wash well in the dishwasher too.

I am blessed with gorgeous (inherited) nouveau-style sterling flatware from the thirties, plus heavy (inherited) colonial-style silverplate from the early 1900s. I also have my own very practical stainless that goes in the dishwasher. Guess which we use every day? But these steak knives go with all of it. I've had four of them since the four-knife set was on sale for a song, several years ago. Today I'm purchasing the eight-knife set, since I'm tired of the bulky "other" steakhouse-style set we've been using. It doesn't look good with the silver. And, I don't care about the box; you should see the one my silverplate lives in!
These are the best steak knives ever. They even go through the dishwasher from time to time and so far they're still sharp. I also like the slender tip, since it's easier to get that last bit of porkchop from the bone.
Three days later: Okay, I just received the eight-knife set. There are some differences: the blade is 1/4" longer, and the...Read more
