Product Description
The Sola Lotus standing table knife is a contemporary piece from Churchill's Sola range, designed for use in restaurant and hospitality table settings. The angular profile and high-shine finish give it a clean, modern appearance that sits well across a range of cover styles, from casual dining to more formal service.
Made from 18/0 stainless steel, these knives are practical for high-volume use. The 18/0 grade offers good durability and corrosion resistance in commercial dishwashing environments, making them a sensible choice for operations that run multiple covers daily and need cutlery that holds up to frequent machine washing without losing its finish quickly.
For front-of-house teams, the key practical advantages are straightforward:
- Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround between covers
- Uniform angular design makes for consistent, tidy place settings
- High-shine finish presents well under restaurant lighting
- Sold in packs of 12, suited to incremental stock management
It is worth noting that 18/0 stainless steel, while durable and well suited to busy service, does not carry the same resistance to dulling over very long-term use as 18/10 grade. For operations running aggressive commercial dishwash chemicals at high frequency, this is a practical consideration when planning replacement cycles.
These knives are well suited to restaurants, hotels, pub dining rooms, and contract catering operations looking for a contemporary pattern at a practical price point. For venues seeking a higher-specification cutlery grade for premium table settings, higher-grade alternatives within the range may be worth exploring.
If you are specifying cutlery across a full table setting or need guidance on quantities for your covers, the team is happy to help you work through the requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
- 18/0 stainless steel is a practical and widely used grade for commercial cutlery. It performs well in standard commercial dishwashers, though operations using particularly aggressive detergents at very high temperatures over an extended period may find that 18/10 grade offers marginally better long-term resistance to surface dulling. For most restaurant and hospitality settings, 18/0 represents a reliable everyday choice.
- As a general rule, most operations work on a ratio of two to three pieces of cutlery per cover type per sitting to allow for turnaround and breakage. For a 40-cover restaurant running two sittings, 80 to 120 table knives is a reasonable working stock, which equates to seven to ten packs of 12. If you are specifying across a full table setting, the team can help you work through the numbers.
- Yes — the Lotus pattern is available across a full table setting, and the consistent angular design and finish means pieces from the same range sit well together on the cover. If you are building out a complete setting, it is worth confirming all pieces are from the same pattern and finish to ensure uniformity.
