For the dinner party host: the best steak knife set

holiday gift guide steak knife set

Whether your giftee is serving a fine Ribeye, humble flank steak, or even a thick-cut pork chop, they need sharp steak knives.

After 28 hours of research, testing, and interviewing professional chefs and knife experts, the Victorinox Rosewood Straight Edge Steak Knife Set (set of 6) is the set you should gift. The knives cut beautifully, they're well balanced, and they come at a reasonable price. They're also nice enough to complement a formal table setting—but not so fancy that you wouldn't want to use them on a weeknight. In our tests, these cut just as well as those that were two to three times as expensive.
