Product Description
The Sola Florence steak knife is a monobloc design from the Florence cutlery range — a single-piece stainless steel construction with a slim, gently contoured profile and a mirror-polished finish. Supplied in a pack of 12, these knives are manufactured from 18/0 stainless steel and are intended for use in commercial table service environments.
In a busy restaurant or hotel setting, cutlery takes considerable daily punishment — repeated dishwasher cycles, stacking, and constant handling. The monobloc construction eliminates the joint between blade and handle that can be a weak point on riveted designs, making these knives a practical choice where durability and hygiene matter. The mirror finish maintains a clean, presentable appearance across a full service and wipes down easily between covers.
From an operational standpoint, the Florence range offers a few practical advantages worth noting:
- Monobloc construction with no handle joints to harbour bacteria or loosen over time
- Mirror polish holds its appearance well under regular commercial dishwasher use
- Slim profile stacks neatly in cutlery trays and rollups
- 18/0 stainless steel is resistant to staining in typical service conditions
- Pack of 12 suits standard cover counts and par-stock requirements
It is worth noting that 18/0 stainless steel, whilst practical and cost-effective, contains no nickel and is therefore less corrosion-resistant than 18/10 grades. For operations running very high dishwasher temperatures or using aggressive detergents, this is a consideration. The Florence knife is well suited to mid-range table service settings — casual dining, pub restaurants, and hotel operations where a clean, contemporary look is required without the outlay of a premium cutlery range.
If you are building or refreshing a full cutlery set and want to discuss quantities, mix-and-match options within the Florence range, or alternative grades, we are happy to help you work through the options before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Florence monobloc is a practical choice for mid-range casual dining, pub restaurants, and hotel table service where a smart, consistent appearance matters. For very high-volume operations running multiple sittings daily, it is worth considering a heavier-gauge or 18/10 grade knife, which will hold up better under intensive dishwasher cycling over time.
- The numbers refer to the chromium and nickel content of the steel. 18/0 contains no nickel, making it slightly less resistant to corrosion and spotting compared to 18/10. In most commercial dishwasher environments it performs well, but if your operation uses very aggressive detergents or high-temperature wash programmes, an 18/10 grade may be a more durable long-term choice.
- Yes — the Florence steak knife is part of the broader Sola Florence range, which includes other table cutlery pieces finished to the same mirror-polished specification. Mixing pieces from within the same range is a straightforward way to build or supplement a full table setting with a consistent appearance.
