2. Stamped and forged tableware

Our variety of tableware colors, shapes and finishes are designed to complement any tablescape. As you browse the selection, you can choose from a set of locations built using two different methods: stamped and forged. For stamped cutlery sets, each piece of cutlery sets is stamped from a stainless steel flat plate, formed into the vessel and polished. Stamping parts are mainly machined and are lightweight. Forged cutlery sets is made of thick stainless steel that requires the use of heat to cut or shape. The forging process adds strength, which results in cutlery being heavier than stamped parts. Stainless Steel cutlery sets: 18/10, 18/8 and 18/0 cuterly sets  are a great investment because they not only contribute to the look of the table, but they also last a long time. All of our flatware is forged or stamped from high-quality stainless steel cutlery sets, making it both beautiful and durable. Our patterns are made from 18/10, 18/8 or 18/0 stainless steel. Since stainless steel is an alloy of dissimilar metals, the 18 indicates 18% chromium content for durability, hardness, and rust resistance. 10, 8 and 0 represent the percentage of nickel added for shine. We also offer knife sets that only include stainless steel and chrome - perfect for a first set or additional cutlery.

Although our cutlery sets range comes in a variety of styles, our cutlery sets are available in two main finishes: satin and mirror. Satin is a brushed finish also known as matte. The satin finish hides fingerprints for a casual look, perfect for everyday dining. Compared to brushed patterns, mirror finishes enhance shine and brightness, making them look more formal. Stainless steel cutlery sets can also be plated with colour. Gold, black or copper finishes are a great way to bring contemporary trends to the table.
