The knife reveals a manufacture's hand more than any other piece: the balance in the palm, the weight of the handle, the finish of the blade. This page is the complete knife guide and is organised in three blocks: table knives — menu, dessert, fish, steak, butter —, serving knives — cheese, carving, fish serving — and kitchen or preparation knives, explained in their own section. The references you can buy here currently correspond to table and serving cutlery; blade material and characteristics are stated according to manufacturer data.
The distinctions belong to the design collection (Cutipol GOA, Manhattan and NAU), not to the individual reference shown. GOA additionally received an international silverware prize for the London 2012 Opening Ceremony service.

The measurements shown are editorial orientation values: every manufacture and collection defines its own proportions. Verified dimensions of a specific reference are always stated on its product page.
The pieces laid at each guest's place setting: they accompany the main course, dessert, fish or meat.
The main knife of a place setting: it accompanies the main course and is the longest knife of the table service. It differs from the dessert knife by its greater length and slightly wider blade.
A reduced version of the table knife for desserts, soft cheeses and fruit. In many collections it shares the design of the menu knife and only differs in scale.
A broad, flat blade without a cutting edge: it separates the fillet from the bone rather than cutting. Recognisable by its spatula silhouette and normally paired with the fish fork.
A pronounced cutting edge — plain or serrated — for firm-textured meat. It is table cutlery, not kitchen cutlery, and is usually sold in sets of six.
A short, wide, edgeless piece for spreading onto bread. It rests on the bread plate and does not replace the menu knife.
Shared pieces of the table: used to carve, portion and serve from the platter or the board.
A perforated or fork-tipped blade that stops cheese from sticking. It is used as a serving piece on the cheese board.
A serving piece for carving at the table, usually paired with the carving fork. It differs from a kitchen knife through its finish and a handle matching the collection.
A wide server for portioning and serving whole fish from the platter. It is a serving piece, not an individual place-setting item.
This section is informational: it explains the most common kitchen knives. The references listed above correspond to the table and serving cutlery currently available. If you are looking for a specific preparation knife, write to us and we will check availability with the manufacture.
A wide, curved blade of roughly 18–24 cm designed for rocking cuts on the board. It is the most versatile piece in the kitchen.
USEChopping, slicing and portioning most ingredients.
Also known as: cook's knife
A straighter, slightly shorter blade than the chef's knife, often with a granton edge that reduces food sticking.
USEPrecise downward cuts on vegetables, fish and boneless meat.
A long serrated blade that cuts through crust without crushing the crumb. It also suits cakes and tomatoes.
USECutting bread, loaves and firm-crusted bakes.
A short 8–10 cm piece handled in the hand rather than on the board, with maximum tip control.
USEPeeling, coring and detail work.
A short straight blade between paring and chef's knife, working on the board.
USECutting vegetables into regular pieces.
An intermediate 12–16 cm format, plain or micro-serrated, for tasks too big for a paring knife and too small for a chef's knife.
USECharcuterie, fruit, sandwiches and quick daily work.
A very long, narrow and flexible blade that produces thin, continuous slices.
USESlicing ham, salmon and large roasts.
A narrow blade; stiff for separating meat from bone, flexible for following a fish's backbone.
USEBoning meat and filleting fish.
Preparation pieces with specific geometries: a short sturdy blade for aged cheeses, a fine blade for pâté, a micro-serration for delicate skins.
USESpecific preparation tasks before the product reaches the table.
We describe the usual constructions without ranking them by quality: each answers a different criterion of weight, balance and maintenance.
Blade and handle come from one single piece of metal, without an intermediate joint. The silhouette is continuous and there is no seam between handle and blade.
The handle is formed from two shaped halves joined together, leaving a hollow interior; the blade is manufactured separately and inserted and fixed into that handle.
The handle is solid, without an internal cavity. It may be one piece with the blade or carry a separately made blade joined to the handle.
A manufacturing term — German in origin — normally used for knives whose handle is a solid steel part and whose blade is made separately and attached to that handle. It is not a synonym for “handle material”: it describes a construction. Usage of the term varies between manufactures, so always read the manufacturer's own description.
In some collections the blade comes from the same piece as the handle; in others it is made separately and joined. Both solutions coexist in the table-cutlery market.
Table and steak knives exist with both smooth and micro-serrated edges. The fish knife has no cutting edge: it separates fillet from bone.
Each product page states the material declared by the manufacturer. These notes explain the terminology; they do not replace the product data.
This is the predominant material across the cutlery references we currently list. Specific designations (18/10, 18/0, blade steels) are stated only where the manufacturer declares them for that reference: we do not infer them from the word “stainless”.
The figures indicate the chromium and nickel content of the alloy. Some knife blades use steels with less nickel or more carbon to hold an edge better. This is technical information: check it on each product page.
Several collections currently listed combine stainless steel with a resin handle in different colours. Other houses use acrylic or wood. Care depends on the handle material and on the manufacturer's instructions.
A base-metal core covered with silver. Some references in our assortment declare silver-plated stainless steel. Figures such as 20, 40, 90, 100 or 150 on silver-plated cutlery indicate the amount of silver applied, not its purity.
Solid silver of 925/1000 purity, hallmarked by the maker. We explain it because it appears frequently in historic and auction cutlery; it is not currently a declared material on the active references in this category. If you are looking for solid silver, ask us and we will verify it with the manufacture.
The finish is a surface layer, not the base material: mirror polish, matt satin or PVD coatings in gold, copper or black tones. Each finish has its own care instructions, defined by the manufacturer.
There is no single rule. Dishwasher suitability depends on the exact material, the construction, the finish and, above all, on the manufacturer's instructions for that reference. Always follow them; if in doubt, ask us before the first cleaning.
Length: the table knife measures about 22–24 cm and the dessert knife about 20–22 cm. Within a collection the design is usually identical; only the scale and sometimes the blade width change.
Because it is not meant to. Its wide, blunt blade separates the fillet from the bone without shredding the flesh; a cutting edge would spoil the texture of the fish.
For firm-textured meat, yes: the pronounced edge — plain or serrated — avoids tearing the fibre. For the rest of the menu the table knife is sufficient.
As orientation: table knife 22–24 cm, dessert knife 20–22 cm and fish knife 20–22 cm. Each manufacture sets its own proportions; verified measurements are stated on the product page.
Yes, as an informational section: chef's, santoku, bread, paring, vegetable, utility, ham and boning knives are explained below. The references you can buy on this page are currently table and serving cutlery; if you are looking for a specific preparation knife, ask us.
The butter knife is short and edgeless, for spreading on the bread plate. The cheese knife has a perforated blade or forked tip and works as a serving piece on the board.
There is no general rule. It depends on the exact material, the finish, the knife's construction and the manufacturer's instructions for that reference; that indication is stated on the product page. If in doubt, ask us before the first cleaning.
It depends on the manufacture and the collection. We check the current availability of the specific reference and confirm it in writing before purchase; we do not offer long-term availability guarantees.
Sterling silver contains 92.5 % pure silver and usually needs periodic polishing; stainless steel is more stable in daily use. Dishwasher suitability cannot be inferred from the material: it depends on the finish, the construction and the manufacturer's instructions for that reference. Designations such as 18/10 are stated only where the manufacturer declares them.
The visible price corresponds to verified information for that reference. Where a piece has no confirmed price yet, it is shown as pending confirmation and answered individually in writing.
