table knives
Meal-cutting utensils
Table knives are the dull-bladed knives used for cutting food at meals, as distinguished from sharper kitchen knives used in food preparation.
They typically have rounded tips and serrated or smooth edges sufficient for cutting cooked meats and vegetables but not for aggressive cutting tasks.
A standard place setting includes a table knife positioned to the right of the plate, blade facing inward.
The silver table knives were polished for the dinner party.
