Stalgast Table Knife Tambre – 218 mm Professional Dining Cutlery

A table knife built for the pace of professional dining service, the Stalgast Tambre balances weight and edge retention to slice through meats, breads and plated dishes without bending or dulling. The blade runs the full length of the handle, distributing the force of each cut along the spine so the knife feels steady in the hand and the edge stays aligned through repeated use.

The operator simply places the knife on the table setting, blade facing the plate. When the meal is served, the diner uses it to portion each course, from starters to mains, without needing to switch implements. The length of 218 mm gives enough reach to cut across larger plates while keeping the handle clear of the rim, so the hand stays clean and the motion stays smooth.

Construction is a single piece of stainless steel, standardised for commercial dishwashers and organised storage in standard cutlery trays. The absence of rivets or joints removes crevices where food particles can lodge, making the knife quicker to sanitise between services.

The 218 mm specification means the knife fits standard cutlery rolls, drawer inserts and table place settings without overhang or crowding. It also determines the weight distribution: a longer blade would feel front-heavy, while a shorter one would lack the leverage needed for tougher cuts. In practice, this length suits most plated dishes in hotels, restaurants and event catering.

Cleaning follows from the single-piece design: wash in a commercial dishwasher, rinse if needed, and store in a dry cutlery tray or roll to prevent edge damage. No disassembly or special treatment is required beyond routine stainless-steel care to maintain appearance and hygiene.

The Tambre is catalogued under professional dining cutlery, alongside matching forks and spoons for complete table service sets.
