Serrated never needs sharpening; straight cuts better and does · review
Six 12 cm (4.7 in) serrated steak knives in high-carbon stainless, stated dishwasher safe — the practical choice for a table where knives get washed with everything else.
What we would actually buy The sensible default: six, serrated, dishwasher safe. Everything above it in this hub trades convenience for a cleaner cut.
Six 12 cm (4.7 in) serrated steak knives in high-carbon stainless, stated forged and dishwasher safe.
A serrated edge saws through a crust and keeps doing it for years without maintenance. It also tears the cut surface slightly, which shows on a rare steak and not at all on a well-done one.
Steak knives go to the table and come back with the plates. A set stated dishwasher safe is a set that will actually be washed with everything else, which is how they are used in practice.
The entry point in this hub. Above them are straight edges, better steels and wooden handles — all of which cut more cleanly and ask more of you.

Serrated cuts a crust indefinitely without maintenance and tears the surface slightly. Straight cuts cleanly, looks better and needs sharpening like any knife. Neither is wrong.
Steak knives are lost and damaged individually and are almost never sold as single replacements. Six covers a table of four with two spare.
