Butter knife

The butter knife is an individual piece used to spread butter on bread or toast. Its short blade, with a rounded and non-cutting edge, rests on the side of the bread plate during a careful table setting. In our Butter knife section you will find stainless steel models suited to both the family table and professional plating. This section completes the full Table cutlery range within the Cutlery department.

Choosing the right butter knife

Individual or serving butter knife?

The individual butter knife accompanies each guest and stays compact. For a shared butter dish, a wider spreader or serving knife is preferable. Check consistency with your existing table cutlery: finish, length and handle style should match.

Which material and finish?

Stainless steel remains the benchmark for its durability and dishwasher safety. The finish (mirror or satin) should harmonise with the rest of the set. If you are renewing your whole service, also look at our table knives and steak knives.

Our Butter knife section includes pieces by Guy Degrenne, Chef & Sommelier, Amefa and Couzon. For any question about matching an assortment or completing a set, the AZ Boutique team can assist both private customers and hospitality professionals.
