Do You Really Need a Knife Rest at a Formal Dinner? The Surprising Answer
This answer may surprise you, NO!
Knife rests are a stylish table accessory if you plan to reuse the knives for more than one course.
Knife rests are designed specifically for the casual place setting. There is no need for knife rests at a formal dinner because the utensils intended for the course are always removed at the end of each course at a formal dinner such as at a wedding or ceremonial.
