Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Gourmet 8-Piece Steak Knife Set with Box
From one of Henckels' moderately priced cutlery lines, these  eight steak knives divide any rib eye, chop, or roast into bite-size  pieces and then store in a handsome wood box. The thin, curved blades  are perfect for precise cutting, although their fine serrations tend to  tear meat fibers rather than slice neatly through them. Stamped from  high-carbon stainless steel, the knives are lighter in weight than  forged knives and don't have bolsters, which might not be essential  when confronting a thick prime rib. The synthetic handles feature  classic three-rivet styling with full tangs for strength. The storage  box is stained a rich auburn. It has brass hinges and snap closures and  measures 15-1/4 inches long, 1-3/4 inches high, and 5-5/8 inches wide.  The knives are dishwasher-safe and carry a lifetime warranty against  defects.--Fred Brack
