5 Ss Blade Polypropylene Knife

These steak knives are large and tough. (I bought them to replace some flimsy department-store steak knives, which had a tendency to break when I used them.) These do not disappoint.

The rounded tips are a nice safety feature--I have a toddler, and although we always keep knives out of his reach, it's safer not to have pointy knives in the house at all.

I do have one complaint. The blade of a steak knife has a flat side and an angled, serrated side. On these knives, the angled side is on the left (as viewed from the top when using the knife.) I would prefer it to be on the right side. The reason is this: when cutting a piece of meat, having the angled side on the left generally means that when I try to cut, the knife twists to the right. Since I'm right-handed, I'm generally cutting on the right-hand side of the meat. Therefore, whe the knife twists to the right, I don't get a nice clean cut.

Switching the angled side to the other side of the blade would solve my problem and make this a perfect knife for me.

Or, if I were left-handed, that would solve the problem too. But alas, I'm not.

Update 2/4/2013: After owning these for about six months, the verdict is in: everybody in my family hates them. My wife thinks they're dangerous, because the twisting action makes them tend to slip. I'm not any sort of knife expert, but I figure that a good knife should just work. You shouldn't have to think about the knife. Not so with these: you have to think, think, think, because the large, angled blade will twist, twist, twist away from you if you don't pay attention. So I'm going to get rid of them.
