{"product_id":"the-australian-steak-knives-4-piece-set-1","title":"The Australian Steak Knives | 4 Piece Set","description":"\u003ch3\u003eFour breeds, four knives, one box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Angus, the Hereford, the Wagyu and the Murray Grey — one of each, in a box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour different handles, so nobody at the table has the same knife and nobody has to remember which one was theirs. It also means the set carries four different stories: a Scottish breed born without horns, an English one whose white face passes to every calf it sires, a Japanese word that simply means \u003cem\u003eJapanese cattle\u003c\/em\u003e, and an Australian breed that began by accident on the Upper Murray in 1905 when one cow produced twelve grey calves in a row.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e$380 of knives, and the box comes with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot packaging. A timber presentation box the knives live in between dinners, which is the difference between a set and four knives that end up in a drawer with everything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also the reason this is the version most people buy. A boxed set of four is a wedding present, a fiftieth, a housewarming — an object you can hand over. Four loose knives in a padded satchel is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a plain edge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost every steak knife you will ever be 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. The cut stays clean and the steak keeps what is in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen these dull, you sharpen them — or send them back to Clarence Park and we will do it free, for as long as you own them. That offer is the reason the plain edge makes sense. A knife you can maintain is a knife you keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Angus\u003c\/strong\u003e — black G10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Hereford\u003c\/strong\u003e — red timber over black G10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wagyu\u003c\/strong\u003e — dark timber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Murray Grey\u003c\/strong\u003e — pale figured timber over dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe timber presentation box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\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\u003eFittings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass and steel pins, full tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e [   ] g each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall length:\u003c\/strong\u003e [   ] mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox:\u003c\/strong\u003e [   ]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBracketed figures pending final production spec.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant a different mix — two Angus and two Wagyu, say?
