Product Description
The Elia Reed dessert knife is a well-proportioned table piece in 18/10 stainless steel, designed to sit comfortably in a cover where a full dinner knife would feel oversized. The Reed pattern follows a classic outline with clean, considered detailing — a straightforward choice for operators who want a consistent, professional table setting without leaning heavily into ornate or contemporary extremes.
In service, the balance between blade and handle makes the piece comfortable to use and easy for front-of-house staff to handle during plating and clearing. The 18/10 stainless steel grade gives good resistance to staining and corrosion under regular commercial dishwashing cycles, which matters over time in busy operations where cutlery is turned around multiple times per service.
Practical considerations for operators:
- 18/10 stainless steel holds its finish well under repeated high-temperature commercial dishwashing
- Consistent weight and balance supports smooth, comfortable use for guests
- Suited to dessert covers, cake service, and afternoon tea settings
- Sold in packs of 12, allowing straightforward stock management by cover count
- The Reed pattern coordinates within a broader Elia Reed cutlery range
The pack-of-12 format suits most operators buying per table or section. For larger operations or venues running high covers across multiple sittings, it is worth considering how many packs you need to hold enough stock through a full service without running short during a dishwash cycle.
If you are building out a full Reed place setting or are unsure how many pieces to order for your cover count and table turns, the team is happy to help you work through the numbers before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A useful rule of thumb is to hold enough cutlery for at least one and a half times your seated cover count, accounting for pieces still in the dishwasher during a busy service. For operations with multiple sittings or a fast table turn, two full cover sets in stock is a safer position. If you let us know your covers and average sittings per service, we can help you work out a sensible order quantity.
- 18/10 stainless steel is the grade generally recommended for commercial cutlery because it resists the staining and corrosion that high-temperature, high-detergent dishwashing cycles can cause over time. Using a rinse aid and removing cutlery promptly after the cycle helps preserve the finish, as prolonged exposure to moisture in a warm machine can dull any stainless steel piece over time.
- The Reed pattern runs across a broader Elia cutlery range, so it is straightforward to build a coordinated full place setting using matching pieces from the same collection. If you are specifying the range across multiple course covers, it is worth confirming which pieces are held in stock at the quantities you need before finalising your order.
