Steak Knife Set

A handmade set built for the table, not the drawer.

Every knife is made to order, and this one shows the kind of work that comes off the bench. Tell me what you need a knife to do and we'll talk through the type of blade and the price. Custom work is running about 3–4 weeks to delivery.

The piece

This four-piece steak knife set was built around a simple idea: a handmade knife shouldn't stop being special just because dinner is served.

Each knife is made from 1084 high-carbon steel, with a clean, straightforward blade profile designed to slice through steaks and other proteins without relying on serrations. The result is a true cutting edge that can be maintained and sharpened for years of continued use.

The handles are shaped from black walnut and secured with brass pins, giving the set a warm, traditional appearance while allowing each piece of wood to retain its own grain and character. The handles were individually shaped by hand, so subtle differences remain from knife to knife—part of what separates a handmade set from something produced on an assembly line.

Together, the four knives represent another side of Stigall Bladeworks: taking the same attention given to field and working knives and bringing it to something meant to be used around the table.

Built to be used, maintained, and enjoyed for years, and to develop a little more character with every meal.

Four knives. One handmade set. Built for a lifetime at the table.
