You want one with a 3.5" to 4" blade. Shorter than that and you have to hold it too vertically, and longer gets you strange looks from staff or other customers. Consider tucking a snack size Ziplok bag in your pocket to hold the dirty knife until you get home to clean it.

I'll use whatever knife they give me.. I'm a total stickler for maintaining a razor edge on my carry knife, and there's no way I'd cut anything with a glass plate under it.Now if they brought my steak on a wooden cutting board, I'd use my knife in a minute! But the quickest way to dull a knife is to run the edge up against glass or something similar, like a tooth, or even a hard bone. Yeah, I grew up in my family's meat packing plant, so I still remember cussing when I'd hit a tooth on the kill floor.

Houser I had almost the same experience about two years age but got the Opinel No 10 folding filet knife with olive handles. Slim little thing in the pocket with a long enough blade. Easier to bring and not need than go without. Rocky that’s the same knife I got last year from my wife to wear with “nice jeans”. She wasn’t a fan of my new benchmade tagged out with the orange handles.

Count me among the disgusted, not just for meat but for anything else on the plate that needs hacked up. I carry the six dollar walmart folding knife for restaurant use and if the waitstaff carries it off with the dishes while I'm distracted it's no great loss.
That happened in October last year when the wife and a sister-in-law were complaining about something they ordered and I didn't notice the knife was gone till I went to put it in my pocket the next morning. Oh well.
At Christmas last year walmart had a 7 pack of bubble wrap folders for 25 bucks. I'm set for disposable knives for awhile.

It’s ok as long as I can keep meat under my cut, once the steak gets small you have to put pieces under the chunk. Most of the time their knives suffice.

The ultimate Campfire solution to the problem:
Only visit the most expensive steakhouse. Take only steak from an animal that you have raised, butchered, and aged yourself.. (It probably would be best if you had sired the critter yourself, but that may be just a bit much.) Do not allow anyone else to prepare your steak; demand to be allowed to utilize their kitchen to do it yourself. Take along your own knife that you have created, starting with mining the ore. Take along your complete sharpening outfit in case you accidentally touch something with the blade other than the steak itself. Take along your personal wooden platter, made from a tree that you raised from a seed that you put into the ground. Tip lavishly.

Why the he%% don’t restaurants give you a sharp plain edge knife? Can you imagine how much abuse a restaurant knife being held by Joe Public would see and the staff required to keep a good knife serviceable? My first thought as well. Sharp knives require maintenance. And not run through a commercial dishwasher.

I do carry my automatic 8" Gomillion that I can shave with and have had to use it on occasion. I get drug off by my customers that think they know meat or food and so I go along and thank them. But 90% of Americans today do not know real food from a cow pie, they eat garbage because the TV says that food is wonderful.
