Factory Technology Dissection of the SM417 Series Stainless Steel Cutlery

Pulished on Jun. 22, 2026

As a factory that has been producing stainless steel cutlery for over 15 years, we have a very mature grasp of technology. If you are purchasing tableware for high-end hotels, boutique department stores, or gift channels in regions such as Europe, America, Japan, or the Middle East, you might want to take a look at our SM417 set.

Regarding the material: Why do we choose 304 stainless steel?

Many suppliers offer 304-grade or 18/10 tableware, but one simple test with a magnet will reveal the truth. The genuine food-grade 304 stainless steel (with a 18/8 chromium-nickel ratio) is non-magnetic or slightly magnetic, which is the physical guarantee for its corrosion resistance and non-release of heavy metals. The core products of the SM417 series (such as SM417SQV, SM417SSV) all use full-strength 304. For knives that require higher hardness (such as SM417SK), we select 420 material and perform heat treatment to ensure the sharpness of the blade for a long time.

Core Technology: 

What is the true cloth wheel polishing process, and how does it make your product stand out on the shelves?

High quality mirror Polished: Using soft  wheels and special polishing paste, it is achieved through three-dimensional curved surface polishing with the help of the artisan's touch. The result is a deep, lustrous mirror-like effect, with soft diffuse reflection of light on the surface. Feel the edge of the spoon head and the transition corner between the spoon head and the handle, and you will experience the meticulousness of our polishing.

Weight and Size: 

Consumers in the high-end market purchase experiences, and weight is the most direct indicator of that experience. We have designed precise weight gradients for different functions:

Action Guide for Professional Purchasing

If you have received our samples, you can verify as follows:

1. Look: Rotate them under natural light to observe if the luster is smooth and uniform, and if there are any fine straight scratches (the mark of cloth wheel polishing is irregular texture).

2. Weigh: Use an electronic scale to verify if the weight is strictly consistent with the data sheet (e.g., SM417GL: 116g). This reflects the quality of the materials used.

3. Feel: Simulate the cutting action and feel if the center of gravity is at the index finger, and if the wrist is natural.

We are your production base, not an intermediary. The SM417 series has complete molds and mature processes, supporting OEM/ODM. We can quickly adjust the weight, size or surface treatment (such as antique, sandblasting) according to your market (such as the Middle East prefers heavy, Northern Europe prefers simple).
