The Wusthof Classic Ikon 4 Piece Steak Knife Set includes 4 non-serrated blades, also known as fine edged blades. Non-serrated (smooth edged) steak knives slide through even the toughest steaks with ease preserving the juices to create the best possible dining experience. If you invest in preparing high quality meat it is important to also choose knives that will ensure the quality of the finished product once it's out of the pan and on your plate. Another benefit of a non-serrated edge is the ease of resharpening. Serrated steak knives cannot be resharpened. Smooth edged knives can be maintained with whetstones, guided sharpening systems (electric or manual), and honing steels. We recommend honing your Wusthof Steak Knives before or after each use for optimal performance. These are beautifully made knives that should last generations.
