Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition 4 Piece Steak Knife Set

The Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition Steak Knife Set has four knives with 4-inch high carbon stainless blades and full tangs at 8.25 inches overall, with walnut handles.

The Taper Grind edge is Chicago Cutlery's own, thinning the blade progressively from spine to edge rather than grinding a single bevel at the end. That leaves less material to push through meat, so the knife parts a steak instead of tearing it. It also means the edge can be brought back on a steel rather than needing a stone, which matters on knives used at a table several times a week.

High carbon stainless holds an edge better than plain stainless while resisting the rust a carbon blade would pick up around food and washing. Walnut handles are riveted through a full tang, and the wood wants hand washing rather than a dishwasher cycle. Explore more Kitchen Knives.
