Why a good steak knife?

There’s nothing quite like the first bite of a perfectly grilled steak at a backyard barbecue surrounded by friends and family. And that good of an experience requires nothing less than the best, from the steak to the knives you eat it with. Whether you have steak frequently or only at special occasions, you don’t want to slave over the grill, have a wonderfully juicy steak and then try to cut it with an old, dull and wobbly steak knife! Trying to cut a steak with a poor-quality knife lets the juice run out, making the steak loose some of its best flavor. It's also just unpleasant fighting for every bite you cut. A great steak knife cuts through the meat without any trouble, leaving the flavor in and making the whole experience more enjoyable.

However, finding a set of high-quality steak knives doesn’t mean breaking the bank! No matter the type of steak knife blade you prefer, with a serrated or straight edge, or what type of handle you like, there are many economical options available. We’ve found the best sets of steak knives for under $100. Pick your perfect set and you’ll be on your way to a great steak dinner! or We’ve found the best nine sets of steak knives for under $100!

The Best 9 Steak Knives Under $100


These Marksford Ansgar steak knives are sturdy stainless steel knives that look and feel like premium steak knives.

The knives’ blades are crafted from high-carbon German stainless steel. The high-carbon prevents the blades from wearing down over time and the stainless steel prevents rusting. The blades are straight-edge so they will effortlessly slice any cut of steak into bite-sized pieces.  The handles are made from high-quality black micarta. Micarta is a material, often opoxy or silicone, that is reinforced with fiberglass, cork, cotton cloth, paper or carbon fiber. It is incredibly durable and made to last a lifetime.

One great perk of this set of steak knives is that it includes a knife sharpener so you can easily keep these knives sharp no matter how long you have them! They also come in beautiful packaging making them perfect to give as a gift or just to display in your kitchen.

Made of beautiful deep cherry colored Pakkawood, the handles look like real wood but are tough enough to withstand more force. The handles are also full tang, meaning the blade extends all the way through the handle, and are secured with three studs that are smooth with the finish of the knife.

We love the handles on these knives! They are beautifully crafted from Pakkawood, an engineered wood and plastic mixed material. It is tougher and more water resistant than real wood and, while it can be made to look nearly identical to real wood, Pakkawood is also available in a number of other, less natural shades. One downside to Pakkawood is that it is not dishwasher safe. However, most high quality knives are not dishwasher safe, so this is not that different from other similar knives.
