Misen's straight-edge steak knives are made from ACUTO440 steel, a high-carbon stainless alloy chosen for its balance of sharpness retention and corrosion resistance. Unlike serrated blades that tear through meat, a straight edge makes clean, precise cuts that keep more of the natural juices inside the steak rather than on the cutting board — a meaningful difference you'll notice at the table. They're available in several handle colors to suit your tableware, and each set is backed by Misen's lifetime warranty against defects.
To keep the blades performing at their best, a honing steel and occasional hand-washing go a long way — visit the Acuto knives care guide for specific maintenance tips on this steel type. If you're building out a complete knife collection, browsing the full Misen knives collection makes it easy to find a chef's knife or utility knife that pairs well with these at the table.
