Steak Knives and Cutlery
A steak knife is used at the table (as opposed to the kitchen) to cut through especially tough foods, such as meat. It is somewhat like a serrated utility knife, though its purpose is different. A steak knife is usually about 10 cm to 15 cm (4 to 6 inches) long and usually serrated, though some are not. Most are also decorative, since they are set on the table with the silverware!
