How Diaz 18/10 Stainless Steel Cutlery Works

Ever wondered what makes professional cutlery different from your home drawer variety? It comes down to the science of metallurgy. The 18/10 designation means these pieces contain 18% chromium for corrosion resistance and 10% nickel for that distinctive silver-like shine and rust protection. Each piece undergoes multiple polishing processes for a smooth, fingerprint-resistant finish. The ergonomic designs consider hand comfort during extended dining, with perfectly balanced proportions and seamless construction. Many pieces feature reinforced necks at stress points, ensuring they won't bend during heavy use—precisely what busy restaurants need service after service!
