Zoë table knife - Serax Matt steel

The Zoë table knife by Serax is a matt steel table knife designed by Belgian designer Ann Demeulemeester for the Zoë collection. Its silhouette is unmistakable: a long, tapering blade that narrows to a fine point, set against a broad, faceted handle that widens gently before ending in an angled tip — an atypical, sinuous shape that reads almost sculptural resting on a napkin.

Made from high-quality steel in a soft matt finish, the surface diffuses light instead of flashing it, showing a low pewter-grey sheen along the ridged spine of the handle and a subtle satin grain across the blade. That muted quality makes this steel cutlery sit beautifully with stoneware plates, linen runners and rustic wooden tables, and equally at home in a pared-back wabi-sabi dining room or a formal city table setting. The generous handle gives real weight and balance in the hand, so it feels as considered as it looks.

Mix it with the rest of the Zoë cutlery for a full place setting, or use it as a quiet counterpoint to more ornate china. Dishwasher safe and suitable for food use, it is made for daily dinners as much as for occasions.
