Victorinox Swiss Classic 4-Piece Steak Knife Set, 4-1/2-Inch Serrated Blades with Round Tip

Yes, these make great steak knives. Certain cultures prefer rounded tips on table knives as a matter of courtesy. Most won't ever think about this, but it's a nice gesture if your guests are picky about such things.

A simple detail that most manufacturers overlook is which side to put the serrations on. Having serrations on the wrong side can cause your steak knife to bind or leave jagged cuts in your food. Eating should be a pleasure, and struggling with your food is scarcely conducive to that. Thankfully, these knives have the serrations on the right hand side (which is the correct side if you're right handed. This will cause the smaller portion to fall away from the larger portion, rather than having the knife bind in your food. A small detail, but one that is easily overlooked.

Yes, these are great on the table, but they're also really quite handy in the kitchen. I find that I reach for these far more often than I would have anticipated. They're perfect for slicing a bagel/baguette, carving a cornish hen, butterflying/pocketing a fillet, and any other number of assorted tasks that you don't necessarily want a larger knife for.

The only failing of this knife is that it makes a terrible paring knife. This can scarcely be counted against it since this knife was never intended to be a paring knife. Nonetheless, several comments have mentioned using it as a paring knife, and I must disagree. The very same serrations that make perfect sense on the dinner table make no sense at all on the kitchen counter. The serrations are then on the wrong side (if you're paring towards yourself) and cause the knife to slip off of the food. If you're right handed, these serrations are great for cutting away from yourself, and terrible for cutting towards yourself.

I have had an identical set for some years now, and though a trifle flimsy, I have not noticed any wear and tear in the handles at all. I only bought another set because they were available at such an excellent price. I feel very confident that I will be using my original set for years to come. And should they ever become lost (which is a much greater danger than them ever wearing out), I will have replacements waiting.

There appear to be several identical sets on Amazon.com right now at different prices. I am unclear if there is any difference, but it would behoove you to search for every version of this set.

I was eating dinner on the couch and accidentally stabbed my hand with a pointed steak knife. About a week later I bought this set. The knifes are much lighter than what I've used at the nice steak houses. They don't appear that sharp but they're awesome for cutting through a steak. These are the only knifes I use for eating dinner.

Not particularly fancy or elegant but these knives get the job done very nicely. They make short work of even cuts of meat that aren't so tender. I like the rounded, blunt tips of this design as I don't see any advantage to the pointed tips most steak knives come with. As the other reviewer noted they are handy in the kitchen too for slicing smaller baked items that my normal bread knife would be too large for. Four stars because of the price only.
