ZWILLING Porterhouse Steak Knife Set of 8, Razor-Sharp Stainless Steel Steak Knives with Serrated Edge in Black Gift Box – Premium Silver Knife Set for BBQ, Dining, Entertaining & Gifts

Beautiful steak knives. Almost too pretty to use. They seem durable. Have had them for a while and they seem to stay sharp. I do hand wash though as to keep them in better condition, not sure that matters.

**Steak Knives Review** These steak knives are a remarkable blend of functionality and elegance. Out of the box, their sharpness is immediately noticeable. Each knife glides through different cuts of meat with effortless precision, enhancing the dining experience. The design is sophisticated, featuring sleek lines and a finish that complements both modern and traditional table settings. In terms of durability, these knives have proven to be resilient. After several uses and washes, they retain their sharp edge and luster, showing no signs of wear. Ideal for both special occasions and everyday use, these steak knives are a worthwhile investment for anyone who appreciates quality and style in their kitchenware.

I haven't had a chance to use these knives, but they have a nice feel to them, and they are quite sharp. (Note that the serrated portion is sharp, but the part of the blade that is not serrated does not appear to be sharpened.) These came in a nice box that would be good for gifting and/or for storing the knives when not in use.

I love the angle of the blade and the elegance of the "neck" of the blade. This is one piece of metal per knife. The crisp line between the handle and neck is real, not illusion, but it's not a joint either -- it's protruding, not recessed. These are extremely sharp! Watch your fingers. I think these look great as steak knives along with silverware such as "J.A. Henckels 45pc Bellasera Flatware Set" which has a similar angle to the main axis of the blades. EDIT: I bought a second set, from the same Amazon webpage, confirmed by purchase history, manually locating my review on the associated reviews page, and by having to edit this review, not being able to leave a new review. I establish this so firmly because the second set is not the same as the first! (I'll describe the difference in the next paragraph.) I don't know if this difference is the fault of Amazon mixing up model numbers or if Henckels quality control for different production facilities of the same model is different, but it's NOT a very subtle difference and it's disappointing. I know someone else who got a set around the same time as I got my second set, and his is the same design as my second set, so I believe the style of my second set is the one you will probably receive. Inconsistency of style is why this review has dropped from 5 stars to 4 stars. Normally that would cause a drop down to 1 or 2 stars, but these are just such darn nice knives that I suspect there is a model number difference and Amazon is at fault rather than manufacturing inconsistency. The second set is high-quality craftsmanship just like the first and identical upon cursory inspection except that the second set has a rounded tip. The tip is not as rounded as a butter knife, but it is distinctly rounded when compared to the first set. The tip of the first set is nearly a perfect triangle which is still pictured on the product page as of 24-Nov-2011. Both sets are elegant and well-balanced but the wicked throwing knife look of the first set is replaced by a stylish but domestic look in the second set due to the rounded tip, which may improve or ruin the charm of this knife, depending on who you are. Other thoughts, having used them for quite some while now: I should mention that the elegance of form will probably have the negative side-effect of not fitting nicely in ham-fisted grips, by which I mean the grip of a large hand that lacks dexterity. One factor in that is the slightly small size. (The knife is more dense than usual plastic- or wood-handled steak knives, and is as heavy or heavier overall, and has a solid, strong, quality feel but some may incorrectly assess the knife as being light due to the slightly small size in a large hand. Another factor is the long choil (unsharpened blade where it meets the handle) which is fine for someone with reasonable dexterity, adult or kid so long as he/she is old enough to use a steak knife at all, but it doesn't offer much finger placement for the clumsy. The cutting action is by shallow serration, so it's like a cross between a serrated and non-serrated blade, and I think it's a wonderful balance. In my view, serrated blades will saw through tough cuts of meat with less hassle than non-serrated blades, and non-serrated blades will glide like butter through good cuts of meat with less hassle than serrated blades. I prefer serrated because I'd like to cut down on the hassle of the more hassling cut of meat rather than pretend I'm always going to buy and cook perfect cuts of meat perfectly. I think this shallow serration is even better though, offering relative ease with any cut. In summary, this knife is top-notch or merely decent, depending on who you are, and depending on which version you receive.

Beautiful knives. I have two sets of 8. It’s a small thing, but the name is on the proper side of the knife so when you put it down with blade facing away from the plate, the engraved name isn’t showing. (I know, it’s a very small thing.). They are easy to use and cut well.

They’re really sharp and nice

Great knives at a great price. Appreciate the attractive wood gift/storage box that’s included. 2nd set I’ve purchased.

Knives seem to be good, unused, and somewhat sharp. Not the sharpest of knives, but also not the dullest basic ones either. Box came ruined, had water damage and smelled like mold. But since the knives are metal, we will just toss the box and wash the knives. Will update in a year after some use.

I think they look great- a nice streamlined material/colour, which is what I was looking for. The handle is slightly 'brushed', so not as shiny as the blade FYI. I searched for about an hour on Wayfair and Amazon to find these. This set includes the amount of knives I wanted at a price I feel is reasonable. I've been cutting cooked steak and porkchops and it works really well. Happy with my steak knife upgrade!

Not bad

Little hard to hold but nice set

Have run these through the dishwasher and no rust spots. Very sharp. Not your average table knife.

These are stamped not forged, and are 4" not 5". Different marking than in the picture. Cannot trust product description.
