Whether grilled or pan-fried, a juicy steak is always a treat. But if you’ve ever tried to cut a real steak with a regular knife, you’ll know it can sometimes be a challenge. To enjoy your steak to the fullest, you need the right tool – the right steak knife. A sharp steak knife allows you to cut through cooked meat cleanly and precisely without using too much force. In this guide, we show you our sharpest new products and share some tips on how to properly look after your steak knives.
An essential companion for meat lovers
The steak knife is every steak-lover’s best friend. With its sharp serrated blade, this knife is specially designed to cut through cooked meat without tearing or requiring too much force –making sure all the juices stay in the meat. At WAS Germany, our carefully sharpened steak knives are made of 13/0 stainless steel. The sturdy ergonomic handle is available in modern plastic or classic wood, both of which ensure a safe grip even if they come into contact with fat or sauce.
Table-setting etiquette for steak knives
A steak knife forms part of the table setting when steak or other high-quality meat is being served. For a set menu that includes a steak course, the steak knife is laid with the other knives to the right of the plate – placed from the outside in, in order of courses. For an à la carte meal, the knife should be laid on the table just before the steak is served. Careful not to confuse a steak knife with other kitchen knives such as the tomato knife, which has a similar serrated blade. The main difference is that steak knives are always pointed at the front, whereas tomato knives have a rounded end.
A knife is only as good as its care
To keep your steak knives in top condition over the years, it is extremely important to take good care of them. Neglected knives quickly become dull, impacting the dining experience. With the right care, you can ensure that your knives not only have a long service life, but always perform at their best – delighting your guests as they slice through steak like butter.
