America's Test Kitchen says "Best Value". We say:

• Beater-Licking Value
• Shrimp-Deveining Value
• Butterfly-As-A-Verb Value
• Holy (Insert The Strongest Profanity You’re Allowed To Say On PBS) Value
• Value That Elicits An Involuntary “Mmm” Of Pleasure
• Value That Makes Stiff Peaks Form
• Value That Totally Shreds (In The Heavy Metal Sense, It’s Not Literally A Shredder)
• Better Than The Unidentifiable But Delicious Little Blackened Bits Of Food Stuck To The Roast Pan Value
• Value So Powerful It Cracks Host Christopher Kimball’s Hardened Shell Of Yankee Skepticism And Teaches Him To Feel Again
• Bestest Value

Why? Well, we might not know as much about knives as America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Country. We might not know as much about recipes and taste-tests and how to rock an apron and the seething sexual tension underlying all those moans of sensory ecstasy. (OK, maybe we’re projecting a little on that last one.)

But we do know prices. And we know that if something is a “Best Value” at a list price over $30 per set, then it deserves an even higher accolade when it’s $7 per set. Even though we can’t link you to it because it’s paywalled, “Best Value” is how the ATK/CC empire honored these Chicago Cutlery Walnut Tradition Steak Knife Sets, at upwards of $30 for each set of four knives.

Now here we are selling these solid walnut-handled, full tang-bladed, Taper Grind-edged beauties at the reality-shattering price of $14 for two sets, for a total of eight knives.

If you’re as ignorant about knives as we are, you could pick up some cheapo serrated steak knives for about this price. And you could struggle to hack your steak into torn bits for a few years, until the blades get dull or the handles fall apart and you throw them away. But this time, we’re going to trust the people who make their living wearing aprons on TV. And we’ll be watching to see what they call these steak knives now.
