When dining at your favorite steakhouse, you select your preferred cut of meat and temperature. At The Narrows Steakhouse, we think you should also select the type of knife you’d like to use.
As soon as you step into The Narrows Steakhouse, it’s obvious that every aspect of your dining experience has been considered. From the linens to the wine selection and everything in between, no detail is too small. And we believe that the finest meats deserve the finest knives. Our selection of international steak knives is carefully selected for exact precision, aesthetics, and balance, thereby enhancing your meal.
For your next visit, the choice will be up to you on whether you want to use a Laguiole from France, a Shun from Japan, or a Chroma designed by Porsche from Germany. Knives Out!
Let’s cut to the chase and learn more about each cutlery:
Shun Classic Steak Knives
Hailing from the Eastern edge of Asia is our selection of razor-sharp, handcrafted Shun Steak Knives that allow diners to glide through the largest steak while retaining maximum flavor. Through its precision and ease of control when cutting, fewer capillaries are pierced, ensuring minimal tearing of the most delicate foods. It’s the ideal knife to use when slicing cooked meat, and when you’re at The Narrows Steakhouse, you can count on premium quality ranging from our wines to our cuisine to our knives. Pro tip: our signature rack of lamb pairs deliciously with a glass of pinot noir or cabernet sauvignon.
Here’s a fun fact: In Japan, SHUN is the word used to describe when seasonal food is at its very peak of flavor and freshness.
Jean Dubost Laguiole Ivory Steak Knives
Très magnifique, that’s what we think when Laguiole Steak Knives comes to mind. Jean Dubost is synonymous with excellence in French craftsmanship. Dating back to the early 1800s, craftsmen across France have created these knives with the finest materials such as olive wood and high-grade stainless steel stamped and polished to ensure long-lasting use as our guests cut into their choice of a 16 oz. Cast Iron Seared Ribeye or a 38 oz. Tomahawk. They’ll feel like French royalty dining in an elegant chateau with these options.
Porsche Design Steak Knives
When stepping into one of Porsche’s famed automobiles, a heart pounding experience awaits. The same can be said when you take hold of their steak knives constructed of high-quality Japanese 301 steel. Unlike ordinary knives, these are crafted with a seamless form but feature a strong design statement. These are an instant conversation starter for the table and are suited for guests that seek sleekness and quality from all avenues of their dining experience.
If you’re looking for a dish that adds the same captivating element as this knife, then you may want to order our delicious 22 oz— Bison Cowboy that’s known for its immense flavor and its pronounced marbling.
Like our knives, our meat also brings superior quality to the table. Our team of experts continuously assesses our suppliers to ensure that we meet the standards of our guests. Stand-out flavor profiles are meticulously identified to stimulate the best-tasting results for various proteins such as beef, pork, lamb, and seafood. This ultimately enhances the experience of ordering any of our dishes while maximizing the flavor and texture of each cut. A critical step in the preparation process of our food purveyors is employing two essential methods: Wet-Aging and Dry-Aging, but that is another story.
Now that you’ve read up on The Narrows Steakhouse, the next thing to do is actually experience it first-hand! Whether staying at Shore Lodge or simply in town for a visit to McCall, book your next dinner visit with us. We’ll have a seat ready for you.
