Does the knife provide a sharp cut? I have a set now also from Oneida and the knives are more like butter knives than able to cut through beef

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.

Knives are not steak knives, I have to provide steak knives when that is served. It'll provide a cut for other food such as chicken and tender meats, veggies, salads, etc. to cut up into bite sized pieces. Hope this helps you.

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

the knob broke off mine the 1st time i used it..you can still use the knife, just (carefully) adjust the slice-guide, it will move & you can still get a great cut.

Nope and we have serrated knives. I was surprised but the knives that comes with the Chicago Cutlery set are the BEST we've ever had and they even top our serrated knives. No idea why. But they do. Even tough steaks (occasionally we overcook them) can be sliced easily.

I can't help you with the handles (they are constructed very well) but I can say these are the best steak knives for the price. Very sharp. I use them as pairing knives as well. Highly recommended.

No Melanie. They are sharp only on one side, and they are not serrated - at least the set I purchased. Non serrated does a better job of slicing cleanly on some meats. They also come in handy as an extra paring knife. They are aluminum and are best washed by hand as dishwasher detergent will make the handles turn a darker color and not be as smooth. Having said all that - - - I absolutely LOVE these knives. Excellent value.

Very nice set of knives, but steak knives are not serrated. Very sharp and easy to sharpen.

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 .

I'm not sure, I'm assuming it isn't since I have not seen that term used before. For the money it has been a very good knife, 5 deer down, sharpen it before I start and once again before I steak out. I'm Not sure it needs to be sharpened during processing but I always sharpen again before I make any finished cuts, works for me and very well.

They are very sharp and cut steak well. I was skeptical because of their light weight, but they have been very satisfactory.

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

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)

Nope, this pottery is amazing! Use it everyday and have it in two houses! Haven't tried it with steak knives though.

This knife has a thin blade. It has a little give to it but the thin blade makes dicing small items like shallots and garlic a breeze.. however, if you are cutting up a potato, the knife tends to bend a little and not make a perfect cut. This seems to be my go to knife for all the small stuff. For the price it can't be beat. It also stays sharp. Hope this helps.

No it's a one piece butter knife, which is one of the reasons I bought this set as I have had ones that were not and eventually they come apart and have to be thrown out. I expect these will last for many years,

It is very difficult to sharpen a serrated knife, but because it is called a "cake/bread" knife, and is only meant to cut softer items, it should rarely need to be sharpened. This knife would not do a great job of cutting brisket or other meat. For that you want a carving knife, and you can find a bunch by searching "granton carving knife" on Amazon. Those knives will be much better for the job.

I agree with the other person that answered your question. This is a very nice set of knifes.
