Knives

From tool to noble dining companion: According to sociologist Norbert Elias, the use of eating utensils, especially the knife, is the sign of the highest civilization. The practiced use of knife and fork forms the center of good table manners. VEGA's knives also meet aesthetic and practical conditions that correspond to the good manners of your restaurant or hotel. Serve dignified table knives, matching the rest of your cutlery and coordinated with your menu sequence: whether fish knives, butter knives, steak knives or dessert knives - at LUSINI you order beautiful and durable knives for your gastronomy.

Different dishes, different knives: an overview

• The dinner knife
  The normal table knife is characterized by a rounded tip and a slightly serrated blade. The handle should fit well in the hand. Dinner knives combine the characteristics of butter knives and steak knives in a weakened form, so they are suitable for spreading and cutting soft-cooked food.

• The butter knife.
  The wide blade with rounded tip determines the shape of the butter knife. The knives are slightly shorter than normal table knives and do not have a grind. Their main function is to spread butter or other spread. With the almost 2-cm-wide blade, this works very comfortably.

• The steak knife
  The narrow, usually serrated blade of the steak knife assists in easily chopping steak and other short-roasted meats. The handle of the knife is slightly longer than normal table knives, so the steak knife fits well in the hand and enough force can be applied to cut. Thus, the meat is perfectly cut and not torn, as would be the case with less sharp knives.

• The fish knife
  Be sure to serve fish with fish knife and fish fork: the special flattened blade, which is almost not sharpened, glides gently under the soft fish skin and detaches it from the white meat. Fried or smoked fish, however, is not eaten with a fish knife, as the skin is not soft enough in these types of preparation.

• Tranching knife
  With its long blade, your staff will easily cut beef, game, pork or fish. The slight curve of the approx. 15 - 32 cm long knife blade prevents meat from sticking to it.

• Appetizer or dessert knife.
  Slightly finer and smaller than normal dinner knives, knives for appetizers and desserts don't have to do much cutting work: dessert knives are served with semi-frozen foods, fruit or with a cheese platter, appetizer knives help cut lettuce, tomato mozzarella or cheese.

• Bread knife
  The blade of a bread knife is at least 23 cm long and has a serrated edge. Hard bread crust is thus cut quickly without squeezing the bread by too much pressure. The longer the blade, the easier and more precise the handling of the knife.
