Why choose a non-serrated steak knife over a serrated one?

A smooth blade slices through meat without tearing the fibers, leaving a cleaner cut and better texture on the plate. Serrated knives work longer without sharpening, but they saw through meat rather than slicing it cleanly. Non-serrated edges require periodic honing to stay effective.

Can these knives go in the dishwasher?

No, the wood handle requires hand washing to prevent warping and finish damage. High heat and prolonged water exposure in a dishwasher can compromise the wood and loosen the rivets over time.

What makes these discontinued colors different from current offerings?

These shades are no longer part of Opinel's regular production run. The warehouse find designation means limited remaining stock in colors that have been phased out, offering a chance to own versions that won't be manufactured again.

How often will I need to sharpen a non-serrated steak knife?

Frequency depends on use, but most home cooks benefit from honing every few weeks and professional sharpening a few times per year. A smooth edge dulls faster than serrated teeth, so regular maintenance is part of owning this style of knife.

Smooth-Edge Steak Knife with Riveted Wood Handle in Discontinued Colors

Most steak knives use serrated edges because they stay sharp longer and power through tough exteriors without effort. The tradeoff is a ragged cut that tears meat fibers and leaves juice pooling on the plate. A smooth blade slices cleanly through the grain, preserving texture and presentation—but only if you keep it sharp.

This knife is for the cook who notices the difference and doesn't mind the extra step of honing. If a clean cross-section and intact surface matter more to you than convenience, the maintenance pays off in how the meat looks and feels when you eat it.

Good gift when

People who prefer clean-cut meat presentation over convenience
Anyone building a colorful or coordinated table setting
Fans of French kitchen tools and bistro style
Home cooks willing to maintain a non-serrated edge

Skip it if These require hand washing and periodic sharpening to stay effective. If you want a low-maintenance steak knife that can go in the dishwasher and never needs honing, a serrated blade is the easier choice.

The details

This steak knife trades the usual serrated edge for a smooth blade that slices meat cleanly without tearing. The stainless steel edge cuts through steak and chops with precision, leaving a clean surface rather than the shredded fibers that saw-tooth blades leave behind.

The handle pairs riveted wood construction with a spectrum of bright finishes—green, lime, fuchsia, pepper, pink, purple, orange, blue, white, and navy. Each handle is shaped for comfort and secured with visible metal rivets that reinforce the blade junction.

These knives bring French bistro style to weeknight dinners or plated meals. The smooth blade requires periodic sharpening to maintain its edge, unlike serrated knives that stay useful longer without maintenance. For those who prefer a clean cut and don't mind the upkeep, the result is a neater presentation on the plate.

The colorful handles make it easy to coordinate or mix across a table setting. Wood construction means hand washing is required to preserve the finish and prevent warping. The non-serrated design works best on tender to medium cuts; very tough or charred exteriors may require more effort than a serrated blade would.

Available in ten shades that are no longer in regular production, these warehouse finds offer a chance to own a discontinued color palette before it disappears entirely.
