Stalgast Table Spoon Baguette – Professional Table Knife

A table knife designed for the specific task of slicing and serving baguettes, the Stalgast Table Spoon Baguette combines the functions of a knife and a serving utensil. The blade's shape allows clean cuts through crusty bread without crushing the soft interior, while the extended length provides the leverage needed for even pressure across the loaf. The handle is contoured to sit securely in the hand during repeated use, reducing fatigue during service.

The knife operates on simple mechanical principles: the sharp edge parts the bread fibres with minimal resistance, and the weight of the blade assists in the downward motion. Unlike a serrated knife, which tears the crust, a straight-edged blade like this one shears cleanly, leaving a smooth surface that does not scatter crumbs across the table. The length of the blade ensures that each slice is consistent, whether cutting a small roll or a full-length baguette.

To use, the operator places the loaf on a stable board or tray, aligns the blade with the desired cut, and applies steady pressure. The knife is then lifted and repositioned for the next slice. No additional force is required beyond the weight of the knife itself, making it suitable for staff of all strengths.

Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel, the knife resists corrosion and maintains its edge through frequent washing. The material is non-reactive, so it does not impart metallic tastes or discolour acidic foods. The full tang extends through the handle, providing balance and durability.

The single control is the handle, which determines the angle and pressure of the cut. There are no moving parts or settings to adjust.

The 193 mm length allows the knife to reach across wider loaves without the handle interfering with the bread. This dimension also fits comfortably in standard cutlery drawers and storage racks, making it easy to integrate into existing table service setups.

Cleaning is straightforward: hand wash in warm water with mild detergent, dry immediately to prevent water spots, and store in a dry environment. The stainless steel will not rust if properly maintained, but it should not be left in standing water or exposed to abrasive cleaners that could dull the edge.

The Table Spoon Baguette is a single model with no variants.
