Do you think they will hold up cutting meat with a steak knife and not cut through and leak like paper plates?

Definitely! These plates are quite sturdy. While they are only plastic they look like China. We bought them for my sons wedding reception, and they were perfect. We wanted easy and bought them knowing we would be throwing them away, but they could easily be washed and reused. You won't regret buying them!!

Yes! We have used them for several dinners at the Crown Winery and they are terrific....not at all like paper plates!Rita Howard

They are wonderful! We did a prime rib dinner for 250 people. I acutally washed and reused 1/2 of them because I couldn't force myself to throw all of them away. If you do want to reuse them, rinse as soon as possible to get off anything that may really stick. You will be happy with these especially if you don't have the choice of using glass.

In the couple of months I have had them they have not. Given the price I will not put them in the dishwasher or let them soak in a soapy sink. To date I think they are great, they go threw a steak like hot butter knife threw butter.

I haven't tried but assume they would. They wouldn't scratch, but they probably wouldn't cut it a smoothly as a regular knife. Most things come out a little jagged.

While I haven't run it thru the dishwasher because it is just a single implement and is easier for me to clean in the sink, if I had a bunch of these I wouldn't hesitate to use the dishwasher. I run our wood handled steak knives thru the dishwasher and they have survived for years. Since this knife has much better quality steel and a good solid handle, it probably would outlast my steak knives. Bottom line, it is up to you, but personally I would do it.

They are not necessarily forged from the flames of mordor. But they are really good nnives for the price. The steak knives have more of a plastic like handle. While the specialty knives have some type of higher quality composite. Blades haven't rusted. Scissors feel kinda cheap. But overall great for the price.

I am not sure . But I was very disappointed in them . They do not seem to be sharp . Very hard to cut steak . I hand wash them . If I had a choice I would not buy them again .

The knives I find to be decent for cutting. They are serrated on one side and flat on the other so it's not like you'll be cutting through food like a stake knife but they are very comparable with my other "el-cheapo" knives I normally use (this set is too fancy for me to use daily)

Yes, the only thing that they're not great protection for is pointed objects poking straight on. But they are great protection from graters and slicing type cuts.

Yes, they can leak, but still like the divided plates, as I take dinner's to my in-laws who are in the late 80's. freeze meals and take them out to them, so I do not experience leaks since meals are frozen.

The knives have a serrated edge on one side and will cut thru sandwiches, salad materials etc., but probably won't cut dense meat such as beef, pork, mutton etc.. Much depends on how the meat is cooked also for instance grilled meat is more dense than baked or slow cooked meat. I hope this helped.

They should be sturdy enough, i use mine to cut raw carrots. The only thing they might be a bit small if you want to cut sandwiches, the size of the shapes is under 5 cm

They were sturdy--we weren't using them to cut steak but they held up as well as any of the heavy plastic utensils do and they looked nice. We were having a cocktail/appetizer type fundraiser that we wanted to be as upscale as we could and still use disposable table ware. They still feel like plastic when you hold them (versus real silver) but the table set up looked good. Hope this helps.

Not in my experience. I do not keep my kitchen knives razor-sharp but they are sharpened enough to easily cut through chicken, etc.Have never had an issue.

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.

The knife handles are solid and there is a fine edge on the blade. I actually tried it out on a steak with success! I hope this helps!

The steak knives have a straight edge. They seem to hold an edge nicely and sharpen easily with the included steel.
