Stalgast Table Knife HIDRAULIC BLACK for Professional Use

A table knife built for the demands of professional catering, the HIDRAULIC BLACK from Stalgast delivers consistent cutting performance through service after service. Unlike serrated or decorative blades, a straight-edge table knife relies on a smooth, sharp edge to slice cleanly through food without tearing. The blade's geometry and weight distribution allow the user to apply controlled pressure, reducing effort while maintaining precision. This design is particularly effective for plated meals where presentation matters, as it leaves minimal marks on the plate and produces neat, even cuts.

To use, the operator holds the knife by its handle and applies a gentle sawing motion or downward pressure, depending on the food's texture. The blade's length and balance make it suitable for both fine slicing and general table use, from cutting roast meats to portioning soft cheeses. After use, the knife is placed in the cutlery basket for dishwasher cleaning, where the stainless steel construction resists corrosion and maintains its edge over repeated washes.

The HIDRAULIC BLACK is made from inox 18/0 stainless steel, a grade chosen for its resistance to rust and staining in high-volume environments. The 220 mm length provides sufficient reach for standard table settings while remaining comfortable for repeated use. Its solid construction ensures it can be stored in drawers or racks without bending or warping, and the smooth finish reduces food adhesion, making it easier to clean by hand if preferred.

Cleaning follows from the materials and design: the knife is dishwasher-safe, and the manufacturer recommends placing it in the cutlery basket to prevent contact with other utensils that could dull the edge. The stainless steel does not require polishing or special treatments, though hand drying after washing can prolong the blade's sharpness and appearance.

This knife is categorised under professional cutlery and is suitable for restaurants, hotels, and catering operations where durability and consistent performance are essential.
