The steaks were high when we decided to elevate our steak knives above the plastic black handled imposters found free on the infomercials. We sourced the highest grade 13/0 stainless steel and heat forged a stainless steel blade to create a steak knife with more power, better handling, and some great curves. The Gourmet Settings steak knives are at the cutting edge of steak knife design with a serrated edge that runs all the way along the blade for maximum cutting surface. These steaks knives can handle anything you put in front of them -- they have a perfectly balanced hollow handle for superior handling and more control. A good set of steak knives should last a lifetime, but shouldn't require any special handling. So, we've made our Gourmet Settings cutlery dishwasher safe for easy cleaning , and guaranteed their quality for 25-years. Steak knives that look good, cut brilliantly, and feel oh so good in your hand -- our steak knives really are a cut above the rest.
