Steak knives are for STEAK!
Not for everyday meals, not for buttering bread, just steak.
![]() So why do so many homes and restaurants put them out for general use? ![]() Honestly, I despair sometimes.

It's a knife. It's even one for cutting food.
Who cares if it cuts a sausage instead of a steak? Ok, you do... I certainly don't

Yes - you could use them on a Pork Chop - and no... there's no special knives for Pork chops.

was it in the 60s ??? Vol-a-vents ar every retro.
P.s. - is that how you spell Vol-a-vent ? The place was quite trendy though so it was likely to be retro-chique. It is how I spell vol-a-vent - but come to think of it, it should probably be vol-au-vent

![]() Is this not the correct etiquette? I wouldn't want to ruin my social standing at the rotary club. |

Do you need to cut vol au vents? I just shove the whole thing in my mouth and wash it down with some lager.

![]() The serrated edge on a steak knife is there to cut through the tougher fibres in a beef steak. For most other meats a straight smooth-edged well sharpened, (with a butchers steel for preference), knife should suffice. |
