Are the steak knives serrated or do they have a nice smooth edge? I'd actually prefer straight edge

They are serrated, but high quality. I know many serrated knives do not have quality edges, and are expected to compensate for not being able to maintain sharpness by literally sawing through food products, but these are a more gradual serrated edge, and the arcs between the points are very sharp, so you get the best of both worlds.

They are serrated but mainly on one side of the knife-the effect makes the knife very minimally serrated overall but they cut everything awesome. We use them for steak all the time. We really like these knives. Hope this helps!!!

Yes they are fine gimmicky serrated Thai (made in Thailand) junk that will tear your steak instead of cut it. Plastic flash on handles, gaps between handles and tang, cheap looking shiny finish. Terrible all together.

They have gentle serration like a butter knife but not pronounced like a steak knife.

It is plain. There is no serrated parts period. Not even at the beginning of the blade. Very nice knife, highly recommend.

While I have not had the knives long enough to require sharpening again, they retain their sharpness very well. They are extremely sharp when they arrive. One note, the steak knives cut well but are not the same quality as the others. But all in all, they are excellent knives.

Yes, like everyone before me has commented, these knives have a very fine serration. These are the best all around knives bar none! Love, love, love.

They have a decent sharpened edge to them. No serrations, don't expect them to do well with a tough steak, but don't give them to a small child either. They could easily cut skin. I'd imagine if you needed to, you could dull them or sharpen them more.

The steaks knives are serrated but only the front half and not the entire knife. Besides one knife being fully serrated there is also one large knife that has large serrations and is recommended to cut bread. This is a great knife set but they are not designed to be used in the dishwasher.

The edges are not serrated. Straight on both sides. The surprising part about this flatware is the size--each piece is perhaps 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch longer than American stainless. The knives have to be washed carefully; they seem to pick up spots more easily than the forks and spoons. You can usually do them in a dishwasher, but sometimes we've had to re-do knives by hand.

ALL of my blades are smooth. I wanted the red one to be serrated, as shown. UPDATE: They sent me a replacement set. This time the red knife is serrated.

They cut better than most normal dinner knives. They're not serrated but are quite sharp. Hope that helps!

I don't know how to answer this, as I've never noticed steak knives with a round point. The set is really nice and I would order them again. Hope this helps you out. They look like the picture shown.

I have only hand washed them and they haven't rusted so far. Very happy with the bigger knives- the steak knives are kinda weird and hardly use them. The serrated part is only in the front.

The best advise I can give you its a great set, however, if you're looking for a bigger knife than the serrated small steak knives, there is not a bigger version of those...Still, we've had this set for awhile and really love it, all knives, the non serrated ones are all super sharp as well. Hope this helps some...Yoka
