Wusthof Gourmet 4-Piece Steak Knife Set
Moderately priced companions to Wüsthof's renowned Classic  forged knives, Gourmet Series knives have the same full-tang,  three-rivet, virtually indestructible poly handles as Classic knives.  Instead of being forged, however, Gourmet Series blades are cut from  steel sheets by precision lasers. That means they have no bolsters. But  it also means they are perfectly shaped and fit their handles  seamlessly. And the blades' high-carbon stainless steel is identical to  that of Wüsthof's premium knives, only thinner. The four steak knives in this set have straight edges for neatly  slicing steaks, chops, and roasts into bite-sized pieces at the table.  At 4-3/4 inches, they're long enough to handle the biggest porterhouse  yet are nicely balanced and light in the hand. The knives are  dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended to protect their  edges.--Fred Brack
