Product Description
The Sola Windsor table knife is a monobloc design — meaning the blade and handle are formed from a single piece of stainless steel — giving it a clean, traditional profile that sits well in formal dining rooms, hotel restaurants, and brasserie-style settings. The Windsor collection uses softly curved lines and a double-thread detail along the handle, producing a classical look without being overly ornate.
Manufactured from 18/0 stainless steel, these knives are built to hold up under the demands of repeated commercial washing. The monobloc construction eliminates the hollow handle or resin-filled joint found on cheaper cutlery, which can degrade over time in high-cycle dishwasher environments. For front-of-house teams, that means a piece that remains presentable across a long service life without warping or discolouration at the joint.
Practical advantages for daily service include:
- Dishwasher-safe construction suited to high-cycle commercial use
- Monobloc build with no joints or seams that could harbour bacteria
- Traditional styling that complements both modern and classic table settings
- Consistent weight and balance across the set for a uniform guest experience
- Supplied in a pack of 12 for straightforward stock management
As with all 18/0 cutlery, this grade offers good durability and is well suited to operations running through a commercial dishwasher daily. Operators who want greater corrosion resistance — particularly in areas with hard water or aggressive detergents — may find 18/10 grade cutlery a better long-term choice, and it is worth factoring that into purchasing decisions for premium covers.
The Windsor range is commonly used in hotels, restaurants, and event catering operations looking for a reliable, classically styled table knife at a sensible price point. For higher-volume sites or those setting a large number of covers, a higher-specification or heavier-gauge option may warrant consideration.
If you are building a full cutlery specification or matching pieces across a range, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, 18/0 stainless steel is dishwasher-safe and holds up well under regular commercial washing. That said, operators in hard-water areas or using particularly aggressive detergents may see more spotting or surface dulling over time compared to 18/10 grade, which has a higher nickel content for added corrosion resistance. If longevity in a demanding wash environment is a priority, it is worth discussing grade options with our team before committing to a full specification.
- A monobloc knife is made from one continuous piece of metal, with no separate blade, handle, or filling material. This matters in a commercial setting because hollow-handle knives — where the blade is bonded into a separate handle — can develop joint failures or internal corrosion after extended dishwasher use. The monobloc build removes that risk entirely, making it a more practical choice for operations cycling cutlery through a commercial machine multiple times a day.
- That depends on your cover count, table turnover, and dishwasher cycle time. A rough working guide is to hold two to three times your maximum cover count in cutlery to allow for pieces in use, in transit to the wash, and drying or being reset. For a 60-cover restaurant with two sittings, three packs of 12 would give you 36 knives — which may be tight. Our team can help you work through the numbers based on your specific service pattern.
