Know before you buy
The frost finish provides a matte, non-reflective texture that is softer than a traditional high-polish mirror finish. It is excellent at hiding fingerprints and minor surface scratches, making it a practical choice for frequent use.
Yes, 18/10 stainless steel is considered the gold standard for flatware. The '18' refers to the chromium content for rust resistance, while the '10' indicates nickel content, which provides a superior luster and added protection against corrosion.
Yes, the Paradox set is crafted from high-quality stainless steel and is safe for dishwasher use. To maintain the integrity of the frost finish, we recommend avoiding harsh detergents and ensuring the pieces are dried promptly after the cycle.
Each place setting includes a salad fork, dinner fork, dinner knife, teaspoon, and a soup spoon. This provides all the essential tools needed for a standard multi-course meal.
