Overview

Forged high carbon stainless blades run straight into triple-rivet composite handles on this Henckels Classic steak knife set. Each slim blade curves up to a point, carries a satin finish and has a plain edge.

Forged construction joins blade and handle without a seam, which gives the knife its balance in hand, and the fine edge is aimed at steaks, pork chops and chicken cutlets. The seller copy places the line below Henckels' premier steels and says machine washing is not recommended, so treat these as everyday table knives.

Who it's for

Dinner tables that serve steak, pork chops or chicken cutlets and need four matching knives with a slim curved point. Cooks who want a serrated edge, a larger set or knives that go through the dishwasher every night should look elsewhere.
