Stalgast Table Knife TURIA for Professional Dining

A table knife designed for the demands of professional dining, the Stalgast TURIA balances precision cutting with the resilience needed in a busy kitchen. Unlike serrated or specialised blades, a straight-edged table knife relies on a smooth, honed edge to slice cleanly through food without tearing. The weight and balance of the knife distribute force evenly, allowing the user to apply steady pressure without strain. This makes it suitable for both plated service and self-service settings where consistent performance is essential.

The operator holds the knife by its handle, using a firm but controlled grip to guide the blade through each course. The length of the knife provides enough leverage for cutting through meats, vegetables, and bread without requiring excessive force. In a professional setting, the knife is typically placed to the right of the plate, with the blade facing inward, following standard table-setting conventions.

Constructed from inox 18/0 stainless steel, the TURIA knife resists corrosion and maintains its edge through repeated use and cleaning cycles.

The 229 mm length of the knife determines its role in a place setting. It is long enough to handle standard dining tasks but compact enough to store efficiently in cutlery trays or drawers. The size also influences how the knife is handled during service, requiring a deliberate but unobtrusive motion to avoid contact with adjacent diners.

Cleaning follows standard cutlery maintenance: hand washing or machine washing in a commercial dishwasher, followed by immediate drying to prevent water spots. The inox 18/0 steel does not require special polishes but benefits from regular inspection for edge retention and surface integrity.

The TURIA table knife is categorised under professional cutlery, where it serves as a staple item in dining establishments, catering services, and institutional kitchens.
