I wanted to replace an aging set of steak knives with worn handles with something better. I've never been partial to serrated-edge blades for cutting (actually, sawing and tearing) good steaks or meat, and I wanted steak knives with no-maintenance handles and good-quality steel that could be sharpened to a fine cutting edge.
The Boker Australian Steak Knife met all my needs. I found the knife usably sharp right out of the box, though I touched mine up on a diamond hone. The Australian-style blade with the wide belly looks a little different to USA users, but you quickly appreciate its effectiveness. The blade length of 5" is just right. These knives work well on a variety of meats not just thick steaks.
Boker has these made of 440 steel at the Arbolito plant in Argentina. My set was well-finished, a full tang, close-fitting riveted handles, and no rough spots. The handles will never dry out or require special care. Try these and impress your guests.I love this knife and it's wicked sharp, the price was very good. I would buy another if I find it at the same low price but it's not available anymore at the online outlet where I first purchased it and is priced much higher elsewhere.
