Finally, a steak knife with a solid feel and no flex in the blade. Heavy duty with a masculine feel.

CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION
I made a mistake in purchasing these. I did not realize their size or the serrated edge.

These knives are just what they say. Steakhouse knives. Don't get me wrong. If they are what you are looking for then they are very good knives for the price, as Chicago Cutlery usually is. But:

These are very much like what you would find in an inexpensive steakhouse. Better even. They are certainly not dinning room knives. They may qualify for casual in-house use. They are quite nice for outdoor steak grilling time.

The handle is large and thick and just over 5 inches long. A ½ inch larger than on the Chicago Cutlery Centurion 8 inch Chef Knife. The blade is just under 5 inches long. It is quite wide from edge to the back of the blade, 1- 1/16 inch. So wide that they will not fit into the steak knife slots on my knife holder. The last half of the blade is serrated. (No true steak knife should have a serrated edge.) Serrated blades do not cut, they saw and tear meat. The advantage of serrated is that they rarely have to be sharpened and they will still saw. These knives do not come very sharp, but because of the serrations, will do ok,

I wish I had a grinder so I could grind down the blade to a more household size, and get rid of that serrated edge. I don't know what to do about the giant handle. While they can be used for the household, they just don't look right for that purpose.

If you eat a lot of steak and other meats, and want a heavy-duty knife that you don't have to sharpen, this is the knife for you. Well made, excellent value.

3.0 out of 5 stars Would prefer Walnut Tradition, April 22, 2009

I ordered these knives thinking they were the same as Chicago Cutlery's Walnut Tradition line, which has wooden handles and straight-edge blades. These Centurion knives are quite large, almost the size of boning knives, have black handles and serrated edges. They work quite well, but I would have preferred the others. I have used Chicago Cutlery products for many years and consider them excellent knives for the money.
