What’s the Difference Between Steak and Other Knives?

What Makes a Good Steak Knife Set?

There are a couple of significant differences between these knives and others that make them perfect for cutting meats.

First, these tools usually have a good balance between the weight and durability of the knife handle and those of the knife blade. In other words, if the handle doesn’t feel like it’s quality to you, then the blade probably isn’t worth the money either. The point of a steak knife is that is should work with you to guide itself through a piece of meat with ease, so each part has to be in sync with one another.

Second, steak knives usually are a quality knife and look good enough to be on display. A lot of people like displaying their steak knife set in the kitchen or dining area in a block, so you may notice that these sets tend to have some of the most eye-catching handles.

Finally, a knife for steaks usually has a seamless design that leaves no gaps between the blade and handle or anywhere else in between. This helps give each knife a more rigid structure that lends to its ability to cut through meat.

The Jaw-Dropping Negatives of a Bad Steak Knife Set

To understand what makes good steak knives, one must first understand what makes bad ones.

So, without further ado, bad steak knives will:

Cut Poorly — You’ll clench your teeth in frustration as you shred and saw at your steak to no avail.

Form Rust Spots — You don’t want those on display at your family dinners.

Be Heavy & Bulky — Your hand will turn white from having to grip the poorly made set.

Blunt Quickly — Buy it once, buy it twice. After extended use, the steak knife will blunt and you’ll find yourself back in-store.

In short, bad steak knife sets aren’t classy cutlery.

In fact, you can compare a bad set of knives to an invisible enemy. It looks the part while in the store, yet it stops your culinary and cutlery experience from being enjoyable.

Now, a good block of knives — that’s a whole different ballpark.

The Greatful Positives of a Nice Steak Knife Set

The best way to understand a good block of knives is to break one down. For this, we’re going to look at the Gladiator Series 8-Piece Steak Knife Set.

Each knife in this block is:

Precision Forged — A thicker blade allows for more durability. Ideal for cutting tough red meat.

Hand Sharpened — Boasts 16–18° per side, which allows perfect balance and a smooth cut.

Tapered — With increased flexibility and hardness, this makes the knife a joy to handle.

Tempered — No brittleness here. A tempered blade will last much longer than its counterpart.

Full Tang — Allows for more leverage, which gives the knife incredible robustness.
