Knife rests are the essence of fine dining, adding a touch of glamour and ritual to the table-top. Dating back to the 16th Century and the court of Henry VIII when they were made of wood, modern knife rests are more likely to be made of metal for ease of cleaning. Knife rests are tableware accessories that protect the table and stop a dirty knife, or fork for that matter, from messing the table-top or staining the tablecloth. It was a popular European tool, with the French naming them the grand sounding porte-couteaux, however the Chinese have a similar tool; chop-stick rests.
