Looking for suggestions on decent steak knives. We've used our for 25 years and the wood handles are falling apart.
Looking for a set to keep in the silverware drawer. Not the type that needs to be kept in a box.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Look at the Victorinox set, cheap and dang good knives.
Whatever you do, don’t get restaurant style serrated blades.

Good enough for us.
Victorinox is what we use

I have a non serrated Henkel set. They’re pretty decent and easy to keep sharp with a Rada wheelie.
We are still using the Chicago Cutlery not serrated set we received as a wedding gift 29 years ago. They have never seen a dishwasher and I sharpen them 3-4 times a year if they need it. They have been good knives, but I have always wanted a set of Wusthoff's to match our cooking knives. These will have a couple more years in them before I think about replacement.

I snagged a set of Wustof cheap and I have a set of Henkle.

Both decent without being uber expensive.
I can't remember the last time I actually needed to use a steak knife at the table. Do you really need a set? The dinner knife that comes in a flatware set is plenty for steak, chops, etc. Unless the meat is really tough?

Steak knife sets seem like an 80's and 90's thing to me, but maybe I am missing something.

Victorinox here also. I prefer the serrated.

Non-serrated all the way - steak knives are for cutting, not sawing

That is what we have as well.
I've yet to see a bad Victorinox knife.
