Spinning off of Panhead John 's thread about knife blocks and their assorted pros and cons....
Do we truly need steak knives? If our steaks are selected and cooked properly (as The Pit requires) --- then isn't a steak knife completely unnecessary?
One thought is that steak knives are reminders of eating at Fancy Restaurants where you get a knife that won't be used for anything else. No roll buttering, no salad shoving.
Another thought is that a knife dedicated to cutting meat is needed in lieu of using the everyday knife that may not have enough serration to be able to cut a steak at all
Let's keep going: steak knives are needed if you're eating steaks that are well-done or otherwise tougher than shoe leather.
