FAQ
What is the difference between an 18/10 and an 18/CR piece of cutlery?
They are both stainless steel. 18/10 (AISI 304: austenitic steel) is valuable and contains Nickel, which increases its resistance to corrosion. 18/Cr (AISI 430: ferritic steel) does not contain Nickel and is more delicate and less resistant to corrosion.
Can the knives be 18/10?
No, the knives follow a different production process than other cutlery (spoons and forks). They are in fact press-forged, heat-treated, and hardened for the making of a cutting edge and to guarantee their resistance over time. A martensitic stainless steel AISI 420 (13/0) is thus used.
