Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

Calphalon doesn't cut corners when it comes to high-performance cookware, and its cutlery is no different. This set of four steak knives not only looks graceful enough to serve with your fine stainless flatware, but it is highly functional and comfortable to use. Each knife is made of high-carbon stainless German steel, hand forged with a full tang so it's extremely durable. Resistant to rust and stains, it also looks great in a contemporary stainless kitchen.
Amazon.com Review

Sleek and attractive, this set of four Contemporary Stainless-Steel steak knives from Calphalon complements the most contemporary kitchens, easily blending in with stainless-steel appliances and accessories. The set includes four 4-1/2-inch steak knives with serrated tips as well as a slotted wooden tray for storage between uses. Ideal for slicing through any cut of meat, the knives also add an attractive element to the table.

Constructed from one piece of high-carbon, stain-resistant, German steel, each knife is fully tapered and individually balanced increasing the comfort, efficiency, and strength. The blade has been hand ground to achieve maximum sharpness, while the solid steel handle is contoured to fit all hands, and slightly textured to enhance the grip. Calphalon offers a lifetime warranty, recommends washing all knives by hand, and suggests always storing cutlery sets in the appropriate storage location. --Lea Werbel

Serrations get in the way of an otherwise sharp product - Reviewed on 2007-12-17

I bought two sets of these to use as a set of steak knives, and I am now ambivalent about them after using them for the last few months. Although the knives are quite sharp along the base of the blade, the serrations in the tip of the blade are quite aggressive, and don't really cut through steak so much as rip it to shreds. I thought the hybrid idea was a good idea, but after use of these I realize that all steak cutting is done with that serrated portion of the knife, and it might at well be serrated or dull after the first third. These aggressive serrations destroy the appearance and bit of the texture what should be a fine piece of filet mignon or new york strip. I also find that they require a good bit of effort to get completely clean, and need to be dried immediately to prevent water-spotting. They do look very nice, and placed at the table in a traditional setting, the Calphalon logo faces downward, which I find to be a respectful touch to reduce the advertising at my table. I am now in the market for new unserrated steak knives, but my wife and I are hesitant after spending a decent sum on these. If you want serrated knives, these are fine, but do not buy them thinking you get the best of both worlds.
