Product description:
A steak knife from Solingen is exactly the right choice when you want to cut steaks and meat dishes cleanly right on the plate. The VOCUT steak knife with its 12 cm blade combines precise cutting performance with genuine Solingen craftsmanship and a handle made of olive wood. You work more calmly, more cleanly and with much more control.
At the table you quickly notice whether a knife is really made for the job. An ordinary table knife is dull and pushes the steak apart rather than cutting it – juices run out and the meal is less enjoyable. The serrated edge of this steak knife tackles exactly that: it bites straight into crust and fibres and cuts the meat cleanly with little pressure. In addition, the blade is polished in the final step. This step takes time and adds cost – which is exactly why many manufacturers skip it. For you, it means a carefully finished blade and a smoother cutting feel.
With the 12 cm blade you cut steaks, roasts, chops and poultry right on the plate. The serrated edge (German) grips even a crisp crust and stays keen longer on porcelain than a plain edge. Learn more about this knife type in the knife glossary under “Steakmesser” (German) and in the FAQ, for example “What is a steak knife and why do I need one?” (German).
The blade is made of stainless 1.4116 / X50CrMoV15 molybdenum-vanadium knife steel at approx. 56–58 HRC. This gives you a good balance of cutting performance, stability and everyday practicality. The handle made of Italian olive wood feels pleasantly warm in the hand, and its natural grain makes every knife unique.
VOCUT stands for knives with an honest origin and a personal standard. The brand is led by Orazio Vella from Solingen – shaped by the craft of his father, who worked as an “Ausmacher” (knife finisher) in Solingen’s cutlery industry. Every VOCUT knife is made entirely in Solingen. That is exactly what you get with this steak knife too: not an anonymous mass-produced item, but a well-thought-out tool with Solingen character. Read more about our origin and philosophy on the page Knives from Solingen (German).
Choose between the version with individual laser engraving and the classic version without engraving. With engraving, your steak knife becomes a personal one-off – ideal as a gift for home cooks, barbecue fans and food lovers.

Care instructions:
Wash your knife with a soft sponge, warm water and a little washing-up liquid. Dry the blade and handle immediately. Do not put the knife in the dishwasher or leave it soaking in washing-up water. Occasionally apply a little olive oil to the olive wood handle and avoid prolonged exposure to heat or cold. Ideally cut on a wooden or plastic board (German) – it protects the edge.

Frequently asked questions:
Why does the steak knife have a serrated edge?
The serrated edge bites straight into crust and fibres and cuts with little pressure. It also stays keen longer on porcelain plates than a plain edge. More: What is a serrated edge and when does it make sense? (German)
How many steak knives do I need?
Ideally one per place setting. For family and guests, a set of four or six steak knives is therefore a good choice.
Is the steak knife suitable for other dishes too?
Yes. It cuts all meat dishes at the table, such as roasts, chops, escalopes or poultry, and also works for pizza or tarte flambée.
Can I have the steak knife resharpened?
A serrated edge cannot be sharpened like a plain edge on a honing steel or with a pull-through sharpener. VOCUT does not resharpen serrated knives. With normal use, however, a serrated steak knife stays keen for a very long time, because mainly the points of the serrations do the work. More: What is the VOCUT resharpening service? (German)
How do I care for the knife and the olive wood handle?
Wash the knife by hand, dry it immediately and occasionally treat the handle with a little olive oil. This keeps the wood supple and preserves its beautiful grain. The knife does not belong in the dishwasher.
Is this steak knife a good gift?
Yes, very much so. A steak knife from Solingen with an olive wood handle is a high-quality gift for home cooks, barbecue fans and food lovers. With the optional laser engraving – a name or a date, for example – it becomes a personal keepsake. Alternatively, choose the classic version without engraving.
