How to choose table cutlery?
QUALITY
The quality of cutlery is determined by the grade of stainless steel, which differs in chromium and nickel content and is indicated by two values separated by a slash (14/0, 18/0, 18/10 …). The first value is the chromium content, which gives the steel strength and long-lasting resistance; the second is the nickel content, which increases shine and corrosion resistance – the higher the value, the higher the metal content.
THICKNESS
Thickness depends on the manufacturing method. With stamped cutlery it is defined by the thickness of the sheet it is cut from; with forged cutlery by the thickness of the original piece of steel and the intensity of forging. Thicker cutlery is more rigid and resistant to bending, and also heavier and sits better in the hand, giving a premium feel.
FINISH
The finish defines the look. Coloured lines are treated with PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition), which applies a thin layer of hard metals to the surface, giving colour as well as high surface hardness and resistance. Matt lines are sand-blasted in a process called Stone Wash, which gives each line a unique vintage look.
