Best Dinner Knives of 2025

"I’m thrilled with these Amazon Basics dinner knives! They’re the perfect everyday cutlery for my busy household. They clean up like a dream in the dishwasher, retaining their gleaming silver finish. The weight is just right in my hand – not too heavy, not too light – and the smooth, contoured handles are comfortable to grip even after a long meal. The serrated edges effortlessly glide through steak and chicken, while the pointed tips handle delicate fruits and vegetables with precision. Compared to other basic knives I’ve used, these are miles ahead in terms of quality and value! If you’re seeking a reliable set of dinner knives that won’t break the bank, these are an absolute winner."

"For the price, these knives are well worth it. We keep losing our flatware (I suspect they are with our lost socks). They're not super fancy, but I’m not sorry I bought them. It was a good deal."

"I was surprised by the material and finish of these knives. They have a good balance and cut well, although it’s clear they’re not meant for meat. They look nice on the table, especially when paired with the complete set of forks and spoons."

"I bought these to enhance my everyday silverware. I'm not too concerned about everything matching. For my guests, I have high-quality flatware. I find these knives to be attractively priced, especially considering their quality and appearance. I believe you won't be disappointed."

"I needed replacement knives, and I must say, these are fantastic. They feel heavy and sturdy, which gives a nice feel in my hand. They seem like quality knives for a good price. Now, I have plenty of knives in the drawer!"

"I've had my Oneida Flight set for about 25 years. I ordered this set of 6 because the photo looked exactly like my existing knives. However, I was quite disappointed that the design I received does not match the photo. It's nice that it is a solid piece now, but I wonder why Oneida didn't stick to the original design. This has made me consider shopping around for other brands."

"I was impressed with the quality of these knives. They are lightweight yet durable, making them perfect for both casual and formal dining. I would definitely purchase them again!"

"I ordered these knives after losing my old ones over time. They feel sturdy and wash well, offering great value for the price. I am very pleased with my purchase!"

"I absolutely love these stainless steel dinner knives! They have a nice sleek appearance and wash up nicely. I even bought the matching spoons and forks—what a beautiful set!"

"I absolutely love these knives! They are great and affordable too."

"What impressed me the most about this dinnerware set is the quality from Hampton Forge. After getting the spoons, I decided to purchase the entire set because the inlay gives it a high-quality look that surpasses local discount store options."

"These knives do a fantastic job spreading butter and other spreads. They're not sharp, which is expected for butter knives, but they feel heavy and durable, likely outlasting any accidental losses by my family."

"I find these very nice. They aren't flimsy, have a great design, and work well."

"I'm totally satisfied with the high quality set. The spoons are larger than I'm used to, but I've adjusted to them. They look sharp!"

"I was disappointed to discover that the coating on my forks started peeling off within three weeks. While the set is heavy and looks nice, they're not truly stainless steel as advertised. It was a big letdown!"

"For the price, these steak knives are great. I was pleasantly surprised by their solid feel and sharpness. They look nice on the table and perform well."

"I needed a backup set for a party and found this AmazonBasics set for just $20 for eight knives. I was skeptical, but upon receiving them, I was amazed by their single-piece construction and sharp serrated edges. They held up beautifully during the dinner!"

"These knives have a great weight and are surprisingly sharp! The handles are durable, which adds to their comfort. I’m really happy with this purchase."

"I ordered these to complement some I already owned, which I paid significantly more for, and I'm thrilled to say these are 100x better! They are heavy, look great, and are of excellent quality. I even gave away my old ones. The only downside is they are a bit too large for my dishwasher basket, but I can manage that."

"I was initially concerned these might be cheap and flimsy, but they are anything but! They are actually heavy and sturdy, easily capable of cutting through thick pork chops. After multiple dishwasher runs, they still look just as good as the day I received them. I would highly recommend them and will definitely consider the Amazon Basics brand for future flatware needs."

"I've never experienced rust on cutlery before, but after using one and soaking it in a sink with a bit of bleach, I noticed a rust spot on the handle the next morning. I love how they feel and look, but I'm quite disappointed with this issue, especially since I fear it will only get worse, so I'm returning them."

“I’ve been using these knives for several months now, and they look very elegant and cut really well. I haven’t had any issues with them; they haven’t tarnished or scratched at all. It was a great purchase.”

“I wanted some affordable steak knives that I could toss in the dishwasher. They hold up well, but even though they have serrated edges, they don’t cut meat as well as I had hoped. I suppose I got what I paid for.”

“These knives are amazing! I’m in love with how they feel in my hand. The price reflects the quality, and they are definitely worth it. This set is perfect for both eating and cutting.”

"These knives are fantastic! They feel heavy-duty and not like the cheap ones I've had before. Great value for the price!"

"I think this is a great set. They are very sturdy and strong. They cut and spread really well and look good on the table. The price is amazing."

"I was pleasantly surprised by these knives. They are well made and sturdy. I especially appreciate the extra length of the 9-inch knife."

"So far, I really like these knives. I couldn't find the same brand as the forks I previously purchased, but I'm happy with this brand."

"Over the years, some of our flatware knives have wandered off—maybe out to the sand pile with the grandkids! I’m so pleased I found these knives. They match fairly closely with some forks that have a hammered pattern. These knives have a good solid weight—not overly cumbersome. Their serrated edges work well for cutting meats and for spreading butter and jam on toast. Even my husband, who isn't picky about flatware, noticed how well they fit in his hand and how well they cut meats."

"I ordered this product to replace disposables and save money. Definitely worth the purchase—the entire product is very sturdy and solid. It works well and is easy to clean. I would purchase again, 10/10!"
