Steak knives typically come in 2 edge styles: serrated and non-serrated. Serrated edges are a bit more aggressive, but they are much easier to maintain. Remember that we typically use steak knives for cutting directly into ceramic or porcelain plates, which are extremely xxxx the edge of a knife. Serrated edges stay sharp longer than smooth edges as only the tip of each serration makes contact with the plate rather than the whole edge. Smooth edge (non-serrated) blades make the cleanest cuts and preserve the juices in the steak being cut, but they can become dulled much more easily. When it comes to buying steak knives it's important to consider how often you plan to sharpen or home the blades. If you are comfortable using a honing steel and don't mind honing your steak knives after use we recommend a German made smooth edge steak knife set, like the or Gourmet Steak Knife Sets. These blades can be maintained with a honing steel and will create smooth, clean cuts through meat. If you want the best possible cuts, but don't want to hone we recommend a hard Japanese steel steak knife with a straight (smooth) non-serrated edge. These Japanese options are more expensive, but they're easier to maintain and slice through steak without tearing. We recommend Shun or Miyabi steak knives for a low-maintenance non-serrated option. If you don't want to hassle with honing and would like steak knives that stay sharp serrated knives are your best choice.
