Excellent value, weight and sharpness

I bought these for my husband for Father's Day. I was sure when I started looking for really nice steak knives, I'd only be able to afford a couple of them. I found several website reviews suggesting Messermeister as an affordable and yet VERY good steak knife maker. I was definitely not let down. They have a great feel to them, a solid weight in your hand and they cut beautifully. I now plan to change out several other cutting and chopping knives I have with ones from Messermeister.

High quality materials, super sharp, great buy for the money
Cindy B.
Look and feel are of high quality

We had seen Wirecutter’s recommendation of these knives and decided to take a chance and purchase them. We couldn’t be more pleased.
These knives have high-quality blades and feel very balanced and solid in the hand without being overly weighty. They are fabulous, easily as good as much more costly knives. We are very happy with our purchase and would recommend them to others.
Laura H.
I enjoyed using the steak knives very much. They are doing what I hoped - easily slicing through meat. I had a little trouble cleaning the blades, but perhaps it is because I just began using them. I wonder if there is a coating on them.
Kelly S.
The weight is balanced on the knife. It cuts well and is nice looking.
David O.
Nice balance and very sharp. Previous steak knives, not yours, were serrated, and was difficult to sharpen them.
Lisa g.
The best knives I've ever used.
Sharp, well balanced and well proportioned knives.
A must have for anyone that eats meat.
Ross B.
The knives are elegant and sharp and get through steak easily. They are however made in China, which I do not recall reading, when I reviewed the many available offerings.
Gary P.
These are the best steak (and all-around) knives I have ever owned. Sharp as a razor, and if you take care of them (respect them by avoiding things you should never do to any knife) they hold their edges very well for a long time. Loved them so much I am ordering sets to give as gifts to friends and family! They are that good and very fairly priced for the quality.
Polly M.
Always so excited when I get new knives. My messimiester knives last forever and are prefect. When I splurged for new steak knives so exciting!!!
David L.
These are sturdy and extremely sharp.
Aaron D.
Love the new steak knives! Full tang, solid handles and great price. Couldn’t ask for more.
Christie H.
Excellent quality, and very nice looking. A great weight in your hand.
Bob G.
Knives are weighted nicely. The finish and match between metal and wood is nice, also. Looks great displayed in the Messermeister magnetic holder.
Sophie N.
Great knives. Beautiful, with nice heft, and cut well. Will be easy to sharpen, which is fantastic. Strong value for the price, especially compared to sets that go for 200+.
Dale M.
Purchased the Avanti POM streak knives. Arrived quickly, Good quality and excellent finish on the knives. The knives were razer sharp no need to sharpen them. They cut through steak like it was butter. Whole family love the knives.
leonard b.
They feel great with a good grip and nice weight. Be careful, they are sharp !
Debra H.
Reminded me of heavy duty knives we used to get when eating at Chuck’s Steakhouse in Storrs, CT. Didn’t try them out as they will be a gift. Merry Christmas!
DJ T.
Great weight. Great feel in my hand. Cuts great
SANDRA J HOCHBERG h.
Sorry I couldn't give you an honest review as the steak knifes were purchased as a birthday present for my son that lives in Nashua New Hampshire. They were sent to his wife ahead of his birthday.
If you would like him to review it for you, let me know and I will send you his email. He will not get the
gift until his birthday which is September 23. I always do things way ahead of time................

I like the handles better than my wuholf classic. Durability of edge overtime is unknown. Overall good value for the set.
Wendy A.
These are great knives that cut very smoothly.
Ronald N.
Wrong set of knives were sent initially, however, situation was rectified in a timely manner.
Hans W.

Great set of steak knives. Super sharp!

Very sharp, handsome, very well made knives. Wish they were dishwasher friendly.

Bought these based on the Wirecutter review, which put them as one of their main picks for kitchen knives. If you have alot of money and want the best, buy Wusthof Ikon. If you want something reasonably close, and don't have friends who care about what brand name is printed on your knives, then get these knives. They cut extremely well, and are made of the either the exact same or extremely steel (as identified on the blades) as the Wusthof.There are, however, a couple of differences. These are a drop thinner than the Wusthof. They may not hold an edge quite as well and the balance may be slightly different. They are also a different size. The Wusthof are slightly smaller at 4 1/2 inches and these are 5 inches long, which might affect handling for you, but this is a personal preference. I also feel that the Wusthof cut a drop better, and while it is not really that noticeable (or I'm imagining it because they cost more), I do think there is a slight difference. Nevertheless, I don't feel it is a multiple of price difference. So, in the end, I agree with Wirecutter that, dollar for dollar, these knives should be in serious consideration if you want real kitchen steak knives from a respected manufacturer with quality control.Good luck and I hope this helps with your shopping decision.

Very good product

The best knives we’ve ever owned. Excellent value and quality.
DK,NY
nice knives. I didn't want to spend 200 on 4 steak knives, but wanted something nice. These are great! Sharp, well made, the handle fits right, can't feel the rivets. balanced feeling. And you can sharpen them when needed! I bought the black handles, not the wood.These are replacing another German brand that were made in China... and they were not forged. These are so much nicer.I read the reviews before hand, and people were complaining that they got messed up in the dishwasher. Don't put good knives in the dishwasher. thats just... not smart.
