Know before you buy
The spatula blade is designed specifically for fish, allowing you to easily lift delicate fillets and separate the meat from the bones without tearing it. Its wide, flat surface provides better control and stability than a standard dinner knife.
Yes, because they are crafted from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, they are durable enough for dishwasher use. However, we recommend hand washing or using a gentle cycle to maintain the polished finish over time.
The Nuovo Milano collection is inspired by the smooth, rounded shape of sea pebbles. This ergonomic design feels substantial and comfortable, offering a more organic, tactile grip than the sharp edges found on traditional flatware.
Each knife in this set measures 199.9 mm, or approximately 7.88 inches, which is a standard and comfortable length for a dedicated fish course.
This set includes six fish knives only. It is designed to complement the broader Nuovo Milano cutlery collection, which offers matching forks and other serving pieces.
