I've got a set of Laguiole steak knives and forks.....they do look nice but for some or no reason (I've no idea why - must be the design)they are woeful to use. It seems they are so 'shallow' that your fingers keep touching what you are cutting.I like the Laguiole ones too

Steak knives are an interesting one. As you all know eating is not just about the taste but also all the other senses. With the use of a good steak knife then the apparent effort to cut the steak is much less and it's perceived tenderness is increased (even if it is a well hung fillet for example which should be so tender to cut anyway). For this reason the choice of steak knife is important.
If you choose a steak knife which is serrated then you have to 'saw' through the fibers of the meat and the perception is that it is tougher then perhaps it is. This is why all the best steak knifes are non serrated and kept razor sharp. With non serrated knives the cutting process will be smoother, easier and more enjoyable.
Whatever knifes you choose (and buy them by looking for the characteristics that you would look for in any knife) keep them honed and you will enjoy them all the more.
I got mine from donald russell (you can google for his site) and they are fantastic.
