Can anybody recommend some good quality steak knifes please? what do I need to know or look for? Have heard that Lanuile knifes are pretty good?
All advice/info much appreciated?

Do you mean Laguiole? They certainly look nice although I can't say that I've used them.

Isn't Laguiole just the french equivalent of Sheffield?

No idea! Possibly... This is where my lack of knowledge shines through

They are fantastic, John Lewis sell a boxed set of cutlery for 8 settings £200 odd, or a steak knife and fork set for 6 settings at £100ish.

I bought these for my wife for Christmas.

Not a bad price, they do 6 for £100 as well.

The above steak knife on an unsuspecting tomato ...



Not bad for something you use at the table.

This store has a good selection, though I can't find any references to international shipping.

In my opinion, you just cannot go wrong with well looked-after Wusthofs.
