The steak knife is one of the few table knives with a pointed blade, which is supposed to make cutting meat easier. The model presented here from the house of EICHENLAUB is the dinner size, that is, the large version. Not only for steak and other types of meat, but also for asparagus and pizza, it makes cutting easier at the table.
If you don't like hand washing, you don't need to read any further.
Because such fine cutlery requires hand care. Exclusively. After all, the manufacturing process alone was a masterpiece involving over 120 steps. Each fork is made with tines that are so sharp that they can easily skewer a piece of meat, thanks to careful all-round machining and repulsion. This also means that the blade is forged from a single piece, then blued, and the basic blades, which include a steak knife, are given a fine saw.
And only where EICHENLAUB is written, may the initial M for Merten, the founding couple of the brand, be added as a crown.
Oak from Germany and Eastern Europe was chosen for the handle scales. Tight, robust and discreet in its light color. You prefer a darker version? I also have one from EICHENLAUB.
