Know before you buy
This set provides service for four people, including five pieces per person: a dinner fork, salad fork, dinner knife, dinner spoon, and teaspoon.
Yes, the set is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the mirror finish and prevent potential spotting over time, we recommend drying the pieces promptly after the cycle finishes.
Forged construction creates a denser, more durable piece of flatware compared to stamped alternatives. This process results in better balance and a more substantial feel in the hand.
While the high-carbon steel provides exceptional strength, it is important to note that the set is not rust-proof. To keep the pieces in top condition, avoid leaving them soaking in water or acidic foods for extended periods.
The warranty covers defects in material and craftsmanship under normal household use. It ensures that your investment is protected against manufacturing flaws for the life of the product.
