Storage & Table Brushed stainless with a PVD finish that will not flake Twenty pieces in matte black. The colour is applied by vapour deposition, bonded into the steel — not sprayed on top where a dishwasher can lift it. PVD coating Bonded at a molecular level. It does not peel like painted flatware. Weighted handles Enough mass to feel like cutlery rather than camping gear. 18/10 stainless base Corrosion resistant underneath the finish. Dishwasher safe The finish is rated for it, which is the whole difference from cheap black cutlery. 01 — The finish Why cheap black flatware fails Most of it is painted or electroplated and starts flaking off in the dishwasher within months. PVD bonds the colour into the surface — it wears rather than peels. 02 — The weight Balance in the hand Hollow handles are lighter to ship and feel cheap immediately. These are weighted so the knife sits properly between your fingers. 03 — The set Twenty pieces, four settings Dinner knife, dinner fork, salad fork, tablespoon and teaspoon. The five pieces a table actually uses.
