Thiers steak knives

This practical guide to Thiers steak knives helps you choose the right edge type, blade material, handle, care routine, and set size for your table.

Which Le Thiers® table knife should I choose?

Plain edge or micro-serrated?

  • Plain edge: clean, smooth cuts; ideal for tender meats and easy at-home maintenance (honing rod or stone).
  • Micro-serrated: bites immediately; requires little day-to-day care but is not as easy to sharpen at home.

Which blade material?

  • Stainless steel: corrosion-resistant and simple to maintain for everyday use.
  • Carbon steel (when specified): excellent long-term sharpness; dry immediately after washing to prevent oxidation.

What size and weight?

Le Thiers® table knives are designed for balance in hand. Length and weight vary by model (see product details) to suit everyday meals or festive tables.

Which handle suits my needs?

Plexiglass (acrylic) & ABS: practical and easy care

Great for intensive use with simplified cleaning. Dishwasher compatibility depends on the model (check the product details). For maximum lifespan, hand washing is recommended.

Wood & horn: the charm of natural materials

Warm feel and unique grain. Hand-wash only: wipe dry after cleaning; avoid soaking and prolonged heat.

Stainless steel (metal handle)

Modern look and high robustness. Simple maintenance. Suitable for family or professional-style intensive use.

Care & durability

Washing

  • By hand: lukewarm water + mild detergent, dry immediately.
  • Dishwasher: only if explicitly stated on the product. Avoid for wood/horn. Place blade facing down, use a gentle cycle.

Sharpening

  • Plain edge: regular honing with a rod; periodic sharpening on a stone.
  • Micro-serrated: requires specific sharpening (workshop) if needed.

Buying individually or as a set?

Single pieces

Perfect to complete an existing set or to try a model before committing.

Boxed sets (often by 6)

A cohesive solution to equip the table quickly and a ready-to-give gift option.
