Knife for eating meat

[Richard in Idaho]

Is there a knife that you like for steak, prime rib and other meat that is not a "steak knife"?

Any shorter petty does the job well . There are a lot of nice small knives out there that can do this sort of task, but I almost never use good knives at the table because I hate the feeling of a good edge and nice steel cutting on a ceramic plate (or bone china, which is what most of our stuff is). On the rare occasion I do use such a knife, it's when I'm dining alone and I can eat off the cutting board.

This is why I got wooden plates to use with proper knives. I agree that using decent knives on ceramic plates is like nails on chalkboard and a complete waste of the knife...

I either use steak knives not serrated or big knives. I have 12 very old case steak knives back when they were made in the USA. It would not make sense for me to buy 1 short knife to cut steak. I would need a whole set or I am using a big knife to carve a big piece of meat. Something like this Henckels knife.

I've done quite a lot of research into this exact subject (for a slightly surreal reason). Some companies who have good ranges that might work, without being overly expensive are: Opinel, Morakniv, and Pallares Solsona.

I like old western table knives with soldered handles, balanced with sand in the handle. That can be used at every meal. No idea what new knives might fit?

Do you have a picture of one? I am coming up blank.

Knife can't eat meat, they are inanimate objects.

Stones eat knives, knives cut meat, meat cr@ps on stones

…and as it always has, Rock crushes Scissors

Something like this? These are not sand-filled though. From the 1950s.

Yes, that style. Thank you. There was a variety of different handles made. But I like such for the shape of the blade.

I'd think a 120mm (max) petty would be ideal.

Catcheside recently told me I can start his honesukis as steak knives. I can’t tell if he was being serious or if they’d be effective at it.
