Seems like you cant go to a restaurant that has a quality steak knife to cut your meat with. Since loosing a couple fingers this year it's been even more of a pain in the ass. Usually I will just pull out my EDC and cut my meat, but I have been looking at something a little more casual. I'm thinking of order one of these
I am reluctant to use wait staff to directly convey my disappointment in a cut of beef when dining out...but if it's a little too chewy for the price...pulling out a sharp Case makes the point without embarrassing everyone.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
Since I have two EDCs on me all the time, The biggest problem is choosing which one gets the honors. Usually it depends what kind of restaurant I'm in at the time. The more informal places get the folding Gerber. All others I use the Kershaw.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.
Why would a personal steak knife make loosing fingers less of a burden?
I don't quite follow the question, holding a fork in one hand and cutting through a steak with a [bleep] knife is tough with two good hands, I loss three fingers on my right hand
We were paying for our meal at a local Steakhouse chain years ago, The register was right between the in and out doors.
A couple walked in.
They had silverware in their hands, a gallon of water, and an igloo Playmate!
She was wearing a studded dog collar, with a chromed dog chain snapped to it. The chain ran down her shirt and went in between the buttons right at nipple level.
I really wanted to pull her chain!
Didn't notice if they had a steak knife!

Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
It has become, sadly, all too common a necessity to do so. If you are lucky enough to find a dine-in establishment, they often don't have the best steaks on hand. That's understandable given the much lower turnover of product and the resultant waste/loss, but it makes a diminished experience even more disappointing. My "go to town" EDC solves this by being both eminently usable and even elegant.
I can see tho - having something that's actually sharp would he helpful. Setting up a full on leather strop to touch up the knife in between bites might be funny.
