Top 10 best steak knives

What are the best steak knives? This is not a simple question, not even for us as experts in the field. In the end, like for many other products, for steak knives it all comes down to situation and personal preference. This, however, won't stop us from producing a top 10 steak knives: all of the best quality, but with other characteristics and suited for different situations.

Smooth or serrated edge?

Before we start our top 10 we want to discuss this first: will you go for a steak knife with a smooth or serrated edge? Both have advantages and disadvantages. With a smooth edge you can cut the meat efficiently, without tearing it. Granted, the edge needs to be razor-sharp. And a smooth edge will become blunt much faster than a serrated edge. However, the advantage of a smooth blade is that it is easy to sharpen.

The main advantage of a serrated steak knife is that the knife won't become blunt as fast. As such it will also take longer before you need to sharpen it. Sharpening a serrated knife, however, is a lot more difficult. Sharpening serrated steak knives is often so much work that people would rather purchase a new set of steak knives. You namely have to sharpen each serration. Also, chances are you pull the meat apart with a serrated knife instead of cutting it. As such the moisture inside the meat is lost.

In the end you are the one who needs to determine which type of steak knife you prefer, one with a serrated or one with a smooth edge. We made a top 10 that contains both serrated and smooth knives.

Opinel T001515, steak knife set, Esprit Sud, olive wood
Do you like modern steak knives, but prefer those enhanced with wooden handles? Opinel combines a sleek shape with a wooden handle for these steak knives. The wood is lackered and the blade is made from stainless steel. Opinel knives are razor-sharp thanks to their edge: the full-flat grind instead of the usual large V-edge. They are also lightweight. According to the supplier these knives are, as a result, dishwasher proof. However, we still strongly recommend that you do not put these knives in the dishwasher. There are three reasons why. First of all, the blade comes into contact with other metal objects which could leave behind scratches. Also, the detergent that is used in the dishwasher is too aggressive and the knives remain wet too long. In short, clean the knives by hand to make sure they stay in great shape.
