So many of us are used to our steak knives having serration on them. This makes them seem to stay sharp because of how they saw through meat and other food items. Once those serrations wear down we are out looking for a new set of steak knives.
With fine edge steak knives you never have to worry about shredding your meat because you get a smooth cut everytime and these can be sharpened like any of your other kitchen knives.
