A perfect steak deserves an equally perfect steak knife. That's why having a high-quality steak knife set in your kitchen is so important. At Kyoku Knives, we offer a wide selection of steak knife sets to meet every need and budget. Read on as we explore what to look for when shopping for steak knives and the excellent options we provide.
What Makes a Great Steak Knife Set?
A great steak knife makes slicing through a juicy steak easy and enjoyable. Here are some tips for searching for excellent steak knives:
- Sharp cutting edges: serrated edges perform best for steak, with teeth that grip and slice smoothly. Non-serrated straight edges require frequent sharpening. Kyoku provides both types for you.
- Sturdy stainless steel blades: High-carbon stainless steel provides strength while resisting corrosion. We use premium Japanese stainless steel and Damascus steel for robustness.
- Full-tang construction: the blade should extend through the handle for power. Our knives are full-tang for perfect balance.
- Ergonomic handles: contoured, triple-riveted handles allow a comfortable, secure grip. Our pakkawood handles are shaped for ease of use.
- Razor-sharp cutting edge: Expert sharpening is key, and our blades are precision sharpened to a sharp 13–15 degree edge.

Why are some steak knives not serrated?
Some steak knives are designed without serrations and feature a straight, sharp edge for specific reasons. Firstly, a straight edge allows for clean and precise cuts through steak and meats, avoiding tearing or shredding of the meat. This is particularly important for high-quality cuts where a refined cut is desired. Secondly, the absence of serrations helps retain the natural juices within the meat, as the clean cut minimizes disruption to muscle fibers. Additionally, straight-edged steak knives offer versatility, as they can be used for various kitchen tasks beyond steak, such as slicing vegetables or other meats. Moreover, personal preference plays a role, as some individuals prefer the feel and control of a straight-edged knife. Ultimately, the choice between serrated and non-serrated steak knives depends on individual preference and the desired dining experience.
