Know before you buy
The 18/10 designation refers to the composition of the steel, specifically 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This high-quality alloy provides superior resistance to rust and corrosion while maintaining a durable, lustrous finish over years of daily use.
The brushed finish is excellent at masking minor surface scratches and fingerprints that often show up on high-polish stainless steel. It maintains a sophisticated, matte appearance that is easy to keep looking clean with standard dishwasher cycles.
The short knife is a signature design element of the Mono A collection, offering a more compact and balanced feel in the hand. While smaller than a traditional long-handled dinner knife, it is fully functional for all standard dining tasks.
Yes, the 18/10 stainless steel construction is fully dishwasher safe. To preserve the brushed finish and prevent spotting, we recommend using a high-quality detergent and ensuring the pieces are dried promptly after the cycle finishes.
Yes, this 20-piece set is designed as a complete service for four, which includes the necessary serving pieces to accompany the standard place settings. It provides a cohesive look for your table by ensuring all utensils share the same iconic design language.
