F. Dick 1905 4.5-inch Steak Knife, Plain Edge

A fine, plain edge slices a steak cleanly, without the tearing a serrated knife can cause, and this 4.5-inch 1905 steak knife keeps the texture and juices of the meat intact. It has the banded handle and substantial heft of the 1905 series.

Plain-edged steak knives cut more like a kitchen knife, which suits diners who prefer a smooth slice. They can be honed and resharpened like any other knife, so with care they stay sharp for years. The weight in the hand also gives a sense of quality at the table.

It also suits chops and roast chicken at the table.

A matching set is the 1905 steak knife set. For serrated steak knives, see the Premier Plus 4.5-inch serrated steak knife and the Premier Plus 4-piece serrated steak knife set. Cut on wood or plastic boards and avoid scraping across porcelain plates, which dulls a plain edge.
