The knife steak by Lou Laguiole is used for cooked food and provides easier cutting compared to dining knives. It has a blade with a pointed tip. It is ideal for steaks, chicken, ribs, and fish. It is made of stainless steel, a popular material for knives, it is particularly durable and does not corrode. It is a combination of carbon and iron as a base, and chromium is added to repel stains and give the blade a glossy finish.
