The short answer

Both Cutco dinner knives have a Double-D® edge. The Steak Knife (#2159) is bigger and bolder, designed for thick cuts of steak, and cuts without ripping or tearing. The Table Knife (#1759) is an everyday knife with a rounded tip for spreading softer foods, forged between Syracuse and Olean, New York.

Steak knife or table knife?

Cutco's Steak Knife is described as bigger and bolder than its Table Knives and designed for thick cuts of steak. The Table Knife is the everyday knife for salads, chicken and spreading butter, with a rounded tip for spreading softer foods. Many families set the table with Table Knives and bring out Steak Knives for steak night.

The Double-D edge

Both have Cutco's Double-D edge, which Cutco says provides a clean, smooth cut and stays sharp. Because the cutting points are recessed, they don't grind down against the plate the way an ordinary edge does.

Care

Hand wash and dry, and avoid cutting on glass or stoneware platters when you can. Cutco sharpens them free under the Forever Guarantee; engraving makes them a classic wedding and anniversary gift.
