Product description:
A steak knife from Solingen is exactly the right choice when you want to cut steaks and meat dishes cleanly right at the plate. The VOCUT steak knife with its 12 cm forged blade combines precise cutting performance with genuine Solingen craftsmanship and an olive wood handle. 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 – the fibres tear, juices run out and the meal is less enjoyable. The forged blade with its plain, hand-honed edge tackles exactly that: it cuts through the meat cleanly with little pressure instead of tearing it. Finally, the edge is honed by hand in Solingen. During the hand honing (German), an experienced specialist checks the edge and gives it the final touch. For you, this means an even, fine edge and a smoother cutting feel.
With the 12 cm blade you cut steaks, roasts, chops and grilled meat right at the plate. The blade is long enough for hearty pieces and stays easy to control at the table. Because the edge is plain, it can be resharpened – unlike a serrated 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 you need one?” (German).
The blade is made of stainless 1.4116 / X50CrMoV15 molybdenum-vanadium knife steel at 56 HRC. This gives you a good balance of cutting performance, stability and everyday practicality. The blade is forged: a red-hot steel blank is shaped under high pressure – this makes the knife stable, well balanced and durable. The handle made of Italian olive wood feels pleasantly warm in the hand, and its natural grain makes every knife unique. With a weight of approx. 60 g, the knife stays easy to control.
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.

Laser engraving information:
Please check your requested text carefully before ordering: We engrave exactly what you enter. The laser engraving is placed on the back of the knife. Its position is fixed and cannot be freely selected. Individually engraved products cannot be exchanged.
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.
