Why this table knive earns its place
The Elia Virtu Table Knives deliver the weight and presence that elevates a place setting. 245 mm long—substantial enough that the blade commands the plate but not so long it overwhelms the hand. Crafted in stainless steel with a highly polished shine, these knives carry the visual language of care: when guests sit down, they see cutlery that's been chosen, not just appeared.
The Reed range (shared across the Elia range) is built on a principle of generous gauge—metal thickness that matters. Thin, tinny knives cheapen the whole table; these don't. Weight in the hand signals something to the diner, whether consciously or not. These are knives that feel used well, not knocked about.
12 to a box makes stock management straightforward. Buy multiples, maintain depth, replace losses and wear as service demands. Stainless steel handles commercial dishwasher cycles without protest. The polished finish catches light across the table, which is exactly what you want. And they carry a 1-year warranty, so early failures are covered.
