How Buckingham 18/0 Stainless Steel Cutlery Works

What makes Buckingham 18/0 cutlery special? It all starts with the composition—18% chromium and 0% nickel creates tableware that's brilliantly resistant to corrosion while keeping costs reasonable. Each piece is precision-crafted through a multi-stage process of stamping, grinding, and polishing to create that perfect balance and feel. The medium-weight design hits the sweet spot between durability and comfort, while the classic shape works across casual bistros to formal dining. The mirror-finish reflects light beautifully on tables, and the balanced proportions ensure they sit comfortably in diners' hands—making the eating experience just right!

To keep your Buckingham cutlery looking its best, always pre-rinse to remove food particles before dishwashing. Store in cutlery trays to prevent scratching, and avoid using abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish. For stubborn spots, a solution of white vinegar and water works wonders. When polishing, use a soft microfibre cloth rather than paper towels. And remember to rotate your stock regularly to ensure even wear across your entire collection.
