Questions about Hardanger Ramona Steak Set

What is included in the Hardanger Bestikk Ramona Steak Set?

The Ramona Steak Set creates a complete steak setting for six people. It includes six steak knives measuring 22 cm and six dinner forks measuring 20 cm. Together, the twelve pieces extend Ramona's familiar brushed-steel expression into a more specialised setting while preserving the same understated character around the table.

What makes the Ramona steak knives distinctive?

The Ramona steak knives combine the collection's restrained Scandinavian design with serrated blades created to cut cleanly through meat. Their functional character is deliberately straightforward, allowing the performance of the knife to sit naturally alongside Ramona's simple proportions and muted expression.

What is the design story behind Hardanger Bestikk Ramona?

Designed by Norwegian designer Odd Leikvoll in 1982, Ramona has become one of Hardanger Bestikk's most recognisable designs. Its identity is built around clarity, durability and an uncomplicated expression rather than ornament. The steak set carries this same philosophy into a more specialised piece of cutlery, combining practical function with the familiar visual language of the Ramona collection.

What material is the Ramona Steak Set made from?

The Ramona Steak Set is made from 18/10 stainless steel and is dishwasher-safe. The material gives the pieces the durability required for regular use, while the restrained surface treatment and straightforward forms preserve the robust, understated character associated with Ramona.

Who designed the Hardanger Bestikk Ramona Steak Set?

Ramona was designed by Norwegian designer and Hardanger Bestikk founder Odd Leikvoll and introduced in 1982. The collection has since become one of Hardanger Bestikk's defining designs, showing how functional proportions, durable materials and visual restraint can create objects that remain relevant for decades. The Steak Set extends that enduring design language into a setting created specifically for meat dishes.
