Knork Flatware Forged Steak Knife 4 Pc SetThis set of four top-quality steak knives is hand formed from solid bars of stainless steel. These knives are forged, not stamped, and have a high carbon content. Specialized design features provide optimum balance, precision and ease-of-use. The black bakelight handles have contoured, enlarged ends that can be held comfortably in either the right or left hand. Unique finger platforms at the top of the handles are helpful to those who need better leverage while cutting and who find themselves shortening their grip on standard knife handles. It is extremely dangerous to balance a finger on top of a knife blade. The finger platform is a safer alternative that also helps the user to cut through foods with less expended effort. The knife blades are forged from high carbon stainless steel and have a curved, slightly serrated edge. They are durable, rust-resistant and stain-resistant.
