Know before you buy
The set provides a complete place setting for one person, consisting of a small fork (7"), large fork (8.5"), small knife (7.5"), large knife (9"), large spoon (8"), medium spoon (6.5"), and small spoon (5").
No, this set requires hand-washing. The hand-forged finish and slate coloring are best preserved by avoiding the harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher.
The hammered texture provides a tactile, organic grip that feels substantial and balanced. While the surface is textured for aesthetic appeal, the edges remain smooth and comfortable for daily use.
The 18/10 stainless steel refers to the composition of 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This high chrome content provides superior resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring the flatware maintains its strength and luster over time.
Because each piece is forged from a single ingot of steel rather than stamped, the metal is denser and more structurally sound. This method eliminates weak points, resulting in a set that is exceptionally resistant to bending or warping.
