Steak Knives & Cutlery

Whether it's T-bone steak, rump steak, or neck steak from the grill: For meat lovers, a good steak knife is an absolute must. The sharp blade of the knife ensures that the meat does not fray when cutting, so it stays juicy. For special occasions - such as dining with friends or relatives - it is also a good idea to create the right atmosphere with an elegant cutlery set.

At the online shop of Meister Messer, you will find not only top-quality steak knives that allow you to cut meat perfectly. We also offer stylish table cutlery that is an eye-catcher on any dining table – for example, humpback knives with an elegant wooden handle. In the following guide, you can read about what distinguishes the cutting tools and what you should pay attention to when making a purchase.

The characteristics of a steak knife

Steak knives can be classified in the category of table knives. The knives specially designed for cutting cooked meat allow for a very clean cut, resulting in less meat juice leakage. Virtually all models have some typical features that distinguish them from a regular kitchen knife. These include in particular:

• Steak knives typically have a blade that is 9 to 13 centimeters long, very sharp, and slightly curved at the tip.
• Steak knives usually have an ergonomically shaped handle that ensures you can handle the cutting tool optimally.
• The blade and handle of a steak knife are usually made of relatively high-quality materials.

What types of steak knives are there?

Steak knives are categorized by their grind. Models with a smooth grind are usually made of very solid types of steel, making them very sharp when sharpened. Another advantage: You can sharpen the knife with conventional tools.

Models with serrated edge are considered very durable and are also suitable for cutting tough meat. However, sharpening the cutting tool should be done by a professional. The purchase price of such steak knives is usually slightly lower.

Steak knives with micro-serration feature the finest edge. The micro-serrated blade allows for a particularly delicate cut and also makes it possible to carve thick pieces of meat without much effort. Corresponding models also score points for durability, but like knives with a serrated edge, they need to be sharpened by an expert.

What to consider when buying a steak knife

First, you should ask yourself whether you want to buy a single knife or a steak knife set. In a set, the acquisition costs per steak knife are usually a bit cheaper. Additionally, all people at the table dine with the same cutlery. Of course, there are numerous other criteria that appear in almost every steak knife test. These include above all:

• As blade material, high-quality stainless steel is usually used, which is both rustproof and easy to care for. The material of the blade has a decisive influence on the durability of the knife. Some premium models feature a blade made of Damascus steel, which is equally sharp and durable.
• In terms of blade length, the general rule is: The longer the blade, the easier it is to cut larger steaks and pieces of meat. Compact models, on the other hand, often fit slightly better in the hand.
• What blade edge the steak knife should have is primarily a matter of personal preference. Each variant has its own advantages and disadvantages.
• Frequently, wood is used as handle material as it gives the steak knife a rustic appearance. Occasionally, handles made of plastic or stainless steel are also used. While the latter are relatively easy to clean and maintain, a bit more effort is required for a steak knife with a wooden handle.
• Another criterion may be the set size, if applicable. The number of knives the set should include mainly depends on how many people are sitting at the table for a shared meal. Sets of 4 knives are commonly offered in stores. However, there are also kitchen knife sets that include a steak knife.
