7 Best Steak Knives

Sharpness: The razor-sharp description above is no joke. The Shun’s blade is made from VG-MAX super steel, so you’ve got a high-quality blade that’s going to last and last.

Feel: Pakka wood handles tend to be the most durable and well-balanced handle for steak knives, and these are no different. They’re comfortable to hold and control as you slice through your meal.

Price: You’ve found the catch.

Sharpness: You can’t go wrong with a Japanese stainless steel blade.

Feel: This is the true power of this knife. The blade itself is sharp and able to cut through meat just like you’d want it to, but it’s the support and easy grip of the handle that makes these babies worth the investment.

Price: They’re a little more expensive than your average steak knife, but you’re paying for the beautiful craftsmanship as well as the box they come in.

Sharpness: You probably won’t find a stronger, sharper, or more durable blade than the ones on these.

Feel: These knives are seamlessly designed, so these will feel incredible to hold. The blade and handle are also well-balanced, so you won’t get any complaints from small-handed, large-handed, or arthritic-handed users. Everyone who eats in your home will find these easy to use.

Price: Surprisingly, these are not the most expensive knives on this list. That being said, they’re not cheap either.

Sharpness: These steak knives come with a serrated edge. Although serrated knives typically aren’t associated with the cleanest of cuts, these go above and beyond expectations. Many customers are grateful for having a steak knife that doesn’t require constant sharpening and upkeep.

Feel: Like Best Hunting Knives said in their review of these knives, “The triple riveted handles feel good in your hand, for power, grip, and comfort.”

Price: Compared to other mid-range steak knives, these come at a great price—all the more reason why they make a great gift.

Sharpness: This straight-edged blade is made from high-carbon stainless steel, giving you a smooth, sharp cut.

Feel: Customers love how comfortable these Chicago Cutlery knives are to hold. The manufacturer says: “The full tang design offers strength and stability, creating the correct balance between the handle and the blade.”

Price: Pretty good considering how well-made these are.

Sharpness: None of the reviews we saw had anything to say about issues with their sets going dull. That being said, it’s important to remember that the cheap cost of these will probably come at a price (see the Cons above).

Feel: With a full tang blade (meaning that it runs from tip to tip) and a sturdy Pakka wood handle, these steak knives are easy to grip and handle.

Price: Amazon may offer these at a discounted rate, but you might be better off going to your local Kohl’s to find them for an even cheaper price. And if you should run into any issues with breakage, rusting, or any other problems, there’s a 100% lifetime warranty you can cash in on.
