Smith & Wollensky Steak Knife

These knives feature a straight-edge design. This allows for a clean, precise slice through meat fibers rather than tearing them, which is essential for preserving the texture of a high-quality steak.

To preserve the blade's edge and the handle material, we recommend hand washing these knives with mild soap and drying them immediately. Avoid the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can dull the steel and damage the handle finish.

Yes, the included wooden box is designed specifically to house these knives securely. It prevents the blades from knocking against other utensils in a drawer, which is the primary cause of dulling and edge damage.

Yes, they are engineered with a focus on weight distribution to mimic the feel of professional steakhouse cutlery. The balance point is designed to provide stability and control, making it easier to apply consistent pressure while cutting.

Because these are crafted from high-quality steel, they can be maintained at home using a sharpening stone or a honing rod. If you are not comfortable sharpening blades yourself, a professional knife sharpening service will easily restore their factory edge.
