What is 18/10 stainless steel cutlery?
Many people look for the 18/10 stamp on cutlery, and for good reason. This little number tells you a lot about its quality. It means the steel is made with 18% chromium for strength and rust resistance, and 10% nickel, which gives it that beautiful, lasting shine and feel. It’s the gold standard for high-quality, durable cutlery.
How to choose the right stainless steel cutlery
-
Finish: mirror-polished for a classic shine; satin/matte for a modern feel
-
Weight & balance: heavier patterns feel luxurious; lighter patterns suit everyday ease
-
Pattern: traditional shapes for formal tables; minimalist profiles for modern homes
-
Buying route: start with a set, then add serving pieces and replacements over time
