J.A. Henckels Mikado 4-Piece Steak Knife Set
- Nice enough to make you look good to guests, priced low enough to throw away when they get dull
- Decent steak knives usually have stainless steel blades, D-shaped Japanese-style handles, solid construction, and so do these
- Sure, what the hell, run them through the dishwasher, you’re just gonna get new ones anyway
- Model: 19119-001 (the first five is a nice poker hand - stop there and you’re good)
Yes, it's these again. For the last time.
Yes, they’re serrated. Yes, conventional wisdom says non-serrated knives are “better”. Yes, that’s because you can sharpen non-serrated knives. Yes, our price is so low you can just replace these instead of sharpening them. Yes, that’s exactly what some actual culinary experts recommend instead of using non-serrated steak knives.
If you’re a daily Meh freak, you’ve heard us say that before. And you’re already bored. But everything isn’t always about you. Jeez. About one in five of our visitors every day are seeing the site for the first time. Another big chunk are occasional visitors who missed the other times we’ve offered these knives.
And then some of you bought these before but need replacements for when - as we said - the first set wears down. In three months or six months or a year, depending on how much steak you eat, you’re going to be ready for some sharped-up jags to hack through your dinnerflesh. That goes double if you’ve been running them through the dishwasher in a decadent indulgence of Howard Hughes proportions. Well, here’s your chance - probably your last one, since we don’t anticipate selling them again.
Oh yeah, remember when we told you we didn’t care what you wanted and then asked what you wanted? You said knives. Fine. Here. You didn’t say what kind of knives. Nyah-nyah.
So yeah, these serrated steak knives again. Same corrosion-resistant steel blades, grip-hungry D-shaped handles, and more or less decent handfeel as when we sold them in January. Same disposable price. And don’t worry, hardcore Mehniacs: they won’t be back to bore you again.
