Why this dessert knive earns its place
Every place setting tells a story about your establishment, and this side plate knife is part of telling the right one. Crafted from top-quality 18/10 stainless steel, it carries the same professional pedigree as fine-dining cutlery while remaining robust enough for the realities of commercial service. The Durban collection's defining characteristic—sleek, dignified lines with a high-polish finish—means this knife reads as thoughtfully chosen, not generic.
Side plate knives are the workhorses of any place setting, appearing at every cover and taking more wear than speciality cutlery. This 180 mm knife strikes the balance between comfortable handling and versatility—appropriate for soft cheeses, warm bread, sandwiches, and light courses. In commercial settings, that versatility is valuable: you're not buying single-use pieces; you're building a collection that works across your entire menu.
The 18/10 stainless steel construction is designed for commercial dishwashing and the corrosive environment of a busy kitchen. These knives won't pit, stain, or develop stress fractures. Supplied in packs of 12, they're practical for stocking a service station or refreshing worn pieces across multiple covers. Stack them with other Durban cutlery, or mix confidently with Churchill's Orb and X Squared dinnerware ranges for a cohesive, modern table.
