Elia Siena Hollow Handle Table Knives 12 Pack

Delivery Information
Price Match
The Elia Siena table knife is a hollow handle design made from heavy-gauge stainless steel with a high-polish finish. It sits within Elia's Siena range, which is designed to offer a consistent, coordinated table setting across a full suite of cutlery and serving pieces.
In a restaurant or hospitality environment, cutlery takes considerable daily punishment — repeated dishwasher cycles, heavy handling during cover turns, and the occasional knock in a busy washing-up area. The Siena is built with that in mind. The heavy-gauge construction gives it a solid feel in the hand without being unwieldy, and the high-shine surface holds up well to regular commercial washing when used and stored correctly.
From an operational standpoint, the Siena range suits front-of-house teams well:
- Dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround between covers
- Matching range available across table, side and serving pieces for a cohesive table presentation
- High-polish finish is straightforward to inspect and polish before service
- Balanced hollow handle design is comfortable to hold across a full sitting
One practical consideration worth noting: hollow handle knives should not be soaked for extended periods or subjected to very high-temperature wash cycles, as this can affect the handle bond over time. Following standard dishwasher guidelines will keep them in good condition through regular service.
The Siena range is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and event caterers looking for a reliable everyday cutlery option with a polished, traditional aesthetic. For very high-volume operations turning over large numbers of covers daily, it is worth considering whether a solid-handle alternative might offer better long-term durability under sustained use.
If you're specifying cutlery across a full room or need guidance on matching pieces within the Siena range, the team is happy to help you work through the requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Are these knives suitable for daily use in a busy restaurant environment?
Yes, the Siena hollow handle knife is built for regular commercial use and handles daily dishwasher cycles well. As with all hollow handle cutlery, it is advisable to avoid prolonged soaking and very high-temperature wash programmes, which can stress the handle bond over extended periods.
Can these knives be matched with other pieces for a full table setting?
The Siena is part of a broader Elia range that includes side knives, forks, spoons, and serving utensils, so building a coordinated table setting across a full room is straightforward. If you need guidance on which pieces are available or how to specify quantities by cover count, we can help with that.
How many packs would a typical restaurant need to order for a full cover set?
That depends on your cover count, the number of sittings you turn per service, and how much buffer stock you want to carry. As a general rule, most operations hold enough cutlery for at least one and a half times their seated cover count to allow for washing cycles. If you'd like help working through the numbers, feel free to get in touch.
