Why this table fork earns its place
Abert's Matisse table forks are the workhorse of any professional kitchen or casual dining setting. Made from 18/10 stainless steel — the heavier-gauge alloy that keeps its gleam under daily washing and hot service — each fork is finished to a mirror polish and weighs just enough to feel substantial in the hand without the heft that tires servers or dishwashers. At 205mm, they're proportioned for everyday dining, neither too large nor cramped.
The Matisse range sits at the intersection of restraint and craft. Owned and run by the Bertoli family since 1929, Abert was Italy's first company to achieve Quality System Certification, and that heritage shows in the 3mm gauge profile — thin enough to cut cleanly through food, thick enough to survive the journey through a commercial glasswasher. These are forks that wear their service quietly, aging to a softer shine rather than scratching or pitting.
Stock them by the dozen. In restaurants, hotels, catering operations, and busy institutional kitchens, a dozen pairs of reliable cutlery is a working inventory baseline. Whether you're replacing worn stock or fitting out a new counter, 12-packs let you rotate with confidence, knowing that what goes into the washer will come out looking ready for the next service.
