Product Description
The Sola Lotus table knife is a commercially focused piece of flatware from Sola's Lotus range, distributed in the UK through Churchill. It features a clean angular profile with a high-shine finish, and is manufactured in 18/0 stainless steel — a grade widely used across hospitality operations for its durability and ease of maintenance.
In a busy restaurant or hotel dining environment, cutlery takes significant daily punishment through repeated service, clearing, and warewashing cycles. The Lotus knife holds up well under this kind of routine use. The 18/0 stainless steel composition means it resists corrosion reliably in commercial dishwasher conditions, and the finish remains consistent over sustained use without the discolouration or pitting that can affect lower-grade flatware.
Practically speaking, the Lotus range offers a few operational advantages worth noting:
- Angular, contemporary profile suits modern table settings without being overly decorative
- High-shine finish is consistent across the range, supporting a uniform table presentation
- 18/0 steel construction handles regular commercial dishwasher cycles without performance degradation
- Sold in packs of 12, making it straightforward to order in multiples matched to cover counts
- Consistent sizing across the Lotus range simplifies storage and sorting in a busy wash-up area
It is worth noting that 18/0 stainless steel contains no nickel, which gives it slightly less corrosion resistance than 18/10 grades in very harsh or prolonged wet conditions. For most commercial dining environments this is not a material concern, but operations running extremely aggressive warewashing chemistry may want to consider this.
The Lotus table knife suits restaurants, hotels, contract caterers, and hospitality venues looking for a reliable, mid-range flatware option with a contemporary aesthetic. If you are equipping a higher-volume operation or require a heavier-gauge piece, it is worth discussing your service volume and cover count with us before committing to a pattern.
If you are building out a full table setting or matching across a range, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to talk through which pieces work together and what quantities make sense for your operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, 18/0 stainless steel handles commercial dishwasher cycles reliably in most hospitality environments. It lacks the nickel content found in 18/10 grades, so if your operation uses particularly aggressive warewashing chemistry or very high-temperature programmes, it is worth factoring that in when choosing a flatware grade.
- As a general guide, most operations hold three to four times their seated cover count in flatware to account for items in service, items in the wash cycle, and a breakage reserve. If you let us know your cover count and service style, we can help you work out a sensible opening order quantity.
- The Lotus table knife is part of a broader coordinated flatware pattern, so the profile and finish are designed to sit consistently alongside other Lotus pieces such as the table fork and dessert cutlery. If you are building a full place setting, we would recommend confirming the full range with us to ensure consistent availability across all the pieces you need.
