Mine are two very different steak knives. One's got a plastic handle and really fine serration on the blade and it is terrible at cutting steak. The other is effectively a fucking hacksaw with a wooden handle bolted around the tang and it is a horror to behold. They're for when we need a knife and don't want to involve the good cutlery.

I waa exaggerating a little, but it's massive compared to everything else we have in the drawer. And it's really, for lack of a better word, rough. The bits don't fit together right and it mangles steaks. Good for getting Nutella out of the bottom of the jar, though, so it gets to stay for now.
