Steak Knives - You'll appreciate the clean, effortless cuts and comfortable balance the Zwilling J.A. Henckels Miyabi Red Steak Knives bring to the table. Even the thickest of steaks and chops are no match for the scalpel-sharp steak knives designed in collaboration with world-renown chef Masaharu Morimoto. Zwilling high-carbon German steel delivers long-life durability and Honbazuke-style hand sharpening on each side to 9.5-12 degrees ensures optimum edges. The 4-piece steak knife set starts and stays remarkably sharper longer than ordinary kitchen knives! Exclusive Sigmaforge forging and Friodur ice-hardening to Rockwell 56-58 produce an exceptionally hard, flexible blade that resist stains, chips and rust. When slicing through tougher textures, the rounded spine and blade heel are gentler on fingers and hands. Triple-riveted, full tang handle is hygienic and precisely weight balanced for better control. Enhanced with glass bead for added strength, the handle is signature styled with sleek Miyabi red spacers. Each of the Zwilling J.A. Henckels Miyabi Red steak knives requires more than 100 steps, 45 artisans and 42 days to reach its beautiful sharpness. In 1731 German knife maker Peter Henckels registered his "TWIN" trademark, which helped his company flourish into one of the world's most exclusive, best-performing kitchen cutlery producers. Following the company's nearly 300 years of tradition and innovative success, Zwilling J.A.
