Artaste 1029086 Rain Stainless Steel Dinner Knife, Matte Finish Handle, 12-Piece

From gold plating for those special occasions, to wonderfully practical stainless steel for everyday dining, Artaste offers the right cutlery for you. A stylish array of Flatware sets allows you to instantly refresh your dining settings with striking contemporary styles. Flatware is an important investment that enhances the dining experience. Forged from high quality stainless steel, all our flatware is designed for both beauty and durability. Our patterns are made from 18/10 stainless steel. Stainless steel is an alloy, and the 18 indicates that the metal has 18% chromium for durability and hardness. It is called stainless because it literally stains less than any other steel. Forged flatware is made from thick pieces of stainless steel which require the use of heat to cut or shape them. The forging process increases the strength, which causes the flatware to be heavier than stamped pieces. Because our utensils and serving pieces are constructed of high-quality stainless steel, flatware from Artaste is easy to care for. Most of our stainless flatware is dishwasher safe; however, extreme heat, lemon detergents and acidic compounds should be avoided. Whether using the dishwasher or hand washing, dry the flatware as soon as possible to avoid spotting and pitting, especially on the knives. If using a dishwasher, load the utensils and serving pieces loosely and use a spot free rinsing agent.
