The Steak Knife is used at the
table (as opposed to in the kitchen, as other Kitchen Knives) to cut through especially tough foods, such
as meat. It is somewhat like a serrated Utility Knife, though its purpose is
different. Steak Knives are usually about 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.
