Delivery Information

Price Match

The Abert Matisse table knife is a straightforward, well-made piece of cutlery from one of Italy's longer-established flatware manufacturers. Abert has been producing stainless steel cutlery since 1929, and the Matisse range reflects that background: clean lines, a polished finish, and no unnecessary styling. It is the kind of cutlery that sits comfortably on a table without demanding attention — which is generally what operators want.

Made from 18/10 stainless steel, the Matisse knife offers good resistance to corrosion and staining under the repeated cycles of commercial dishwashing that restaurant and hotel cutlery has to withstand. The polished finish is practical as well as presentable — it shows scratches less readily than brushed alternatives and recovers well from daily machine washing.

This pattern suits a wide range of settings: bistros, hotel restaurants, contract catering, staff dining, and anywhere a clean, unfussy table presentation is the goal. It is not a heavyweight pattern aimed at fine dining, but it is a reliable workhorse that holds up well in volume service environments.

Knives are supplied in packs of 12, which makes it straightforward to scale quantities to your cover count and build in a practical working reserve. If your operation runs particularly high covers or has significant breakage and loss rates, it is worth calculating your par stock carefully before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

How many packs do I need for my cover count?

A common starting point is to hold two to three times your cover count in cutlery to allow for items in use, in the wash, and a working reserve. For a 50-cover restaurant, that typically means 100–150 table knives as a baseline, so eight to thirteen packs. Operations with faster table turns or higher loss rates may want to hold more.

Is the Matisse pattern suitable for fine dining service?

The Matisse is a clean, polished pattern that presents well, but it is designed as a practical workhorse rather than a prestige flatware line. It is well suited to bistros, brasseries, hotel restaurants, and contract catering environments. For white-tablecloth fine dining where the weight and feel of cutlery is part of the guest experience, a heavier-gauge pattern may be more appropriate.

How does 18/10 stainless steel compare to lower grades for commercial use?

The two numbers refer to the chromium and nickel content of the steel. An 18/10 grade contains 10% nickel, which gives it better corrosion resistance and a brighter finish than 18/0 alternatives. In a commercial environment where cutlery goes through an industrial dishwasher multiple times a day, that resistance to staining and pitting makes a meaningful difference to the longevity and appearance of the flatware.
