Steakmes & Bistecca-bordenset, 16-delig (Espresso)

The plates are thicker than I expected, almost like miniature cutting boards, which makes slicing steak feel more authentic. And the Damascus steel knives have a nice weight and balance.

Finally, a steak knife set that comes with plates actually designed for serving—those bistecca-style boards make the meal feel special. The knives sliced through ribeye like butter right out of the box.

The Damascus pattern on these knives is stunning in person, and they slice through a ribeye like butter. The plates are hefty enough to feel sturdy but not clunky.
