Best steak knives

Post by Ben »

I need an upgrade, not keen on the ones I have, the teeth tend to tear even the most tender steak

I want non-serrated like the Dalstrong ones but I can’t afford them at £45 each!!

Anyone got any recommendations without paying silly money?

Age it for 3-4 days on a wire rack in the fridge and you wont need a sharp knife, it will almost fall apart.

Tip; buy a boned out rib joint, cut it into 1.5" slices, dry throughly with kitchen paper, age it as above, allow it to reach room temp and fry as you would steak.

How about these............ :wink:

Alternatively how about some Berghoff serrated ones?. I know you said you don't want them serrated, but these good little knives.

If your serrated edge knives are tearing the steak, either the knives are really really s***e or you are doing something wrong with your steak! My steak knives are old, wooden handles, serrated edge, 20 years old, can't remember where I bought them but they certainly weren't deluxe numbers. I think , avoid the very cheapest, but get any mid- priced set of knives, and they'll do you just fine. No need to spend fortunes.

Have a look on this site Ben.

I bought my fishing knife from them (Spyderco Tenacious)

They have some great knives for all things cooking and eating. :thumbs:
