Stalgast Table Knife SEGURA for Professional Dining

A table knife designed for the demands of professional dining service, where each piece must balance weight, edge retention and hygiene. The SEGURA knife from Stalgast is shaped to slice through roasted meats, vegetables and plated desserts without bending or dulling over repeated use. Its length allows a comfortable grip for diners while keeping the cutting edge clear of the plate rim, reducing the risk of chipping or scratching tableware.

The blade is forged from inox 18/0 stainless steel, a grade chosen for its resistance to corrosion and staining. Unlike higher-chromium alloys, 18/0 steel contains no nickel, which lowers the risk of allergic reactions among diners and staff. The absence of nickel also makes the steel slightly harder, so the edge stays sharper through daily washing cycles. Because the alloy is non-porous, it does not trap food particles or bacteria, meeting the hygiene standards required in commercial kitchens and dining rooms.

To use, the knife is placed on the table with the blade facing the plate and the handle towards the diner. The diner grips the handle, aligns the blade with the food and applies downward pressure to slice. The knife is then returned to the table setting or handed to staff for clearing. No additional settings or adjustments are required; the knife functions purely as a manual cutting tool.

Construction is a single piece of inox 18/0 steel, polished to a satin finish that resists fingerprints and water spots. The 230 mm length is measured from tip to butt, giving a consistent size across the set for uniform table presentation. No additional materials or coatings are used, so the knife can be washed in commercial dishwashers without risk of peeling or discolouration.

The knife requires no controls or settings. It is cleaned by washing in hot soapy water or in a commercial dishwasher, then dried immediately to prevent water spots. Regular honing with a steel rod maintains the edge between professional sharpening sessions. Because the steel contains no nickel, it may develop a slight patina over time, which does not affect performance and can be removed with a stainless-steel cleaner if desired.

The SEGURA table knife is listed in the Stalgast cutlery catalogue under professional dining service equipment.
