The ergonomic designs consider both server and diner experience, with knife blades featuring specialised tempering for lasting sharpness. This commercial-grade construction ensures pieces maintain their appearance through industrial dishwashers and thousands of uses—delivering consistency that residential cutlery simply can't match!
