For a table of six, the Wüsthof Gourmet 6-piece steak knife set gives every guest a 4.5-inch knife with a straight edge. Gourmet knives are laser cut from one piece of steel, the way Wüsthof makes its non-forged lines, and they carry black handles with three rivets.
Customers ask us for non-serrated steak knives, and this is a set Wüsthof confirms has a straight edge. That edge leaves a neat face on a steak or a pork chop, and you can hone and sharpen it at home on the tools you use for your kitchen knives. Serrations keep cutting longer between sharpenings, a reason restaurants choose them. At home, a few strokes on a honing steel before dinner keeps a straight edge ready.
If you prefer the heft of a forged knife with a bolster, compare the Classic 6-piece steak knife set. All six fit the 6-slot steak knife block on the counter or in a cabinet. The Gourmet 4-piece steak knife set suits a smaller table. Our kitchen knife shapes guide explains how steak knives differ from paring and utility knives.
