Victorinox Swiss Basic 6-Piece Steak Set (4½” Spear Level Serrated) Black, 4.25 x 0.5 x 0.5 inches, Multicolor

Not very giftable because they’re not “pretty” but MAN, can they cut
First of all, let me just say that I love these knives that I’ve purchased them twice now. First, about a year ago when I needed a set of steak knives to outfit my new kitchen. I thought these looked the most similar to my previous favorite steak knives that I’ve had and used for probably 20 years now – some microserrated, black plastic handled knives from Costco back in the day.When I took these out of the package, I was shocked to receive 6 loose knives just floating around a bubble mailer, as another reviewer mentioned. I thought, Hm…these must not be that sharp, since they didn’t stab through the package in transit. I also thought that maybe they were knock-offs, but I proceeded to remove their protective stickers anyway and threw them in the dishwasher. I was dubious, but when they came out, they looked no worse for wear.Fast forward to cutting with these knives. They are, hands down, the sharpest steak knives I’ve ever owned. Sharper by far than the old set I was using. Way sharper than the fancy Henckels set that come in their very own velvet-lined wooden box that I was gifted. I’ve made many accidental cuts in my cutting board because these are so sharp that they slice right into wood without any kind of tactile feedback. Be careful with your fingers! You can easily get cut without even realizing it because the blades are so sharp.These have held up extremely well over the last year, so much so that I decided to order another set for all of my holiday guests to use. No, they’re not pretty and don’t have the wow-factor of a big wood-handled knife, but these will out cut any pretty steakhouse knife.Not only do they work well for meat, but I find myself reaching for them when I would otherwise be grabbing a paring knife. They’re especially great for hulling strawberries with absolute ease or quickly slicing up a piece of fruit.I actually only decided to review these when I came back to purchase a THIRD set, but the price has gone up significantly since my last purchase (27 and 32 bucks for the last 2 sets, 40+ dollars currently), so I will wait until the price drops some.If you need steak knives now though, know that these are easily worth their current price and you will be purchasing a quality set of knives that will stay sharp for a long time to come.Edit 3.19.23:I’ve purchased FOUR sets of these now. 3 for myself, since I tend to entertain large groups and often need more than 12 knives, and one set for my mom to replace her old, dull steak knives. These are still the knives I reach for the most when prepping fruits or slicing things like tomatoes (omg, these are the BEST tomato slicing knives!) and they’re just as sharp as ever. Cannot say enough good things about them.

Very Sharp
These are quality knives that come with a very sharp edge. I have not had any issues running them in the dishwasher. A word of warning though, the backs of these knives are sharp as well. I managed to cut my fingers pretty badly using my offhand to assist in cutting.

Gets the job done!
If your kids/teens lose every piece of cutlery you own, then hide these because they are nice. Sharp, easy to grip, easy to maintain, weightless.
