{"product_id":"elegance-steak-knife-11cm","title":"Elegance Steak Knife - 11cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 11cm steak knife is part of Berkel's Elegance range, built for the table rather than the block. The short, rigid blade cuts clean through a rare steak or a slow-cooked joint without sawing, and the glossy red handle gives a place setting some real presence. The blade is stainless steel hardened to 58-60 HRC, so it holds an edge through regular use and only takes a light sharpen when it's ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to hold its edge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is 1.4116-X50 CrMoV15 steel, cut from a 3mm plate using an electrical upsetting process rather than stamped from thinner stock. That gives it more mass behind the edge and a hardness rating of 58 to 60 HRC, which sits in the sweet spot between edge retention and ease of sharpening. It's a straight edge rather than serrated, which gives a cleaner cut through cooked meat and is easier to keep sharp over time. A steel bolster ties the blade to the handle, so the balance stays even in the hand rather than tipping forward the way some cheaper steak knives do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA knife worth putting on the table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a knife for entertaining as much as for eating. The glossy acetal resin handle carries the Berkel name in gold, and the finish is meant to be seen, not hidden away in a drawer between uses. It suits a dinner party, a steakhouse-style Sunday roast, or as a gift for someone who already has good cookware and would appreciate good cutlery to match. The wider Elegance line takes the same approach across its knives and accessories: glossy handles, a steel bolster for balance, and blades built for both edge retention and easy sharpening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash by hand in hot water and dry the blade straight away. Leaving it wet, or putting it through the dishwasher, is the quickest way to dull the finish and mark the steel. Avoid abrasive sponges or cloths on the handle, which will scuff the gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePairs well with\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good knife needs a good surface under it.
