{"product_id":"the-angus-australian-steak-knife","title":"The Angus | Australian Steak Knife","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe Inspiration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAngus cattle come from the cold northeast corner of Scotland, from two counties — Aberdeenshire and Angus — where the weather does not reward anything delicate. They are black, they are stocky, and they are born without horns. Not dehorned. Born without them, a naturally polled breed, which is the sort of quiet efficiency that tends to win in the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt did win. Angus is the most registered beef breed in Australia, and the name has done something almost no other breed has managed: it escaped the saleyard and made it onto the menu. People who could not name a single other breed of cattle will still order the Angus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat reputation rests on marbling — fine threads of fat running through the muscle that melt as it cooks. It is why an Angus steak is forgiving, and why it deserves a knife that doesn't tear it apart on the way to your mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost every steak knife you have ever been handed is serrated, and the reason is not a good one. A serrated edge cannot be sharpened, so a manufacturer who assumes you will never bother has solved their problem rather than yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also saws. The teeth grip the surface, drag through it, and leave a torn face on the cut that lets the juice run out onto the plate. A plain edge slices instead. The cut stays clean and the steak keeps what is in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen this one dulls, you sharpen it — or send it back to Clarence Park and we will do it free, for as long as you own it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is black G10: dense, grippy when wet, and completely indifferent to a marinade or a long afternoon outside. Short enough to be civilised at a table, stiff enough to mean it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steak knife · [   ] mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel:\u003c\/strong\u003e [   ]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e [   ] mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e [   ] HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plain, [   ]° double bevel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black G10, full tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFittings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass and steel pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e [   ] g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall length:\u003c\/strong\u003e [   ] mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBracketed figures pending final production spec.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOr take the boxed set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour knives, one of each breed, in a timber presentation box — $375.
