We knew from past tests that serrated knives—even those with minuscule serrations—mangle and tear meat, so we focused on smooth-edged steak knives. Smooth-edged knives can also be sharpened, giving them a longer lifespan than serrated knives. Lefties and righties with large and small hands sat at dinner tables and tried each blade, slicing through rare and well-done steaks—including inexpensive, moderately tough shell sirloin and pricey, tender strip steaks—served on ceramic plates. Each knife made 525 cuts in total. Paper Cuts To measure the sharpness of each knife, we sliced through a single sheet of paper before and after testing, noting how easily the knife slid through. Sharp to Dull One set was almost too sharp, rapping loudly against our plates and leaving permanent marks in the ceramic no matter how gently we cut. This set quickly dulled from repeated grinding into the plates and failed the paper test after 525 cuts. Another set struggled, making jagged, torn slices of meat. Still another set was too dull to slice through paper by the end of testing. Two sets remained sharp or showed only a minimal decrease in sharpness. Wood Wins As for comfort, testers favored knives with contoured wood handles, which were lightweight and easy to grip. Some knives with plastic or metal handles either were too heavy or felt slippery in testers’ palms. Handle-to-Blade Ratio We preferred knives whose blades and handles were of nearly equal length, which made them easier to control. Our preferred products had less than a ¾-inch difference in the length of their handles and blades; the lower-ranked knives had either handles or blades that were longer by an inch or more and therefore felt unbalanced.
