How Kings 18/0 Stainless Steel Cutlery Works

The '18/0' in Kings cutlery refers to its composition—18% chromium and 0% nickel. This specific metal blend creates flatware that's remarkably resistant to staining and corrosion while keeping costs sensible for commercial use. Each piece is specially designed with reinforced edges and commercial-grade thickness to withstand the rigours of busy service and industrial dishwashers. The balanced weight provides a comfortable feel without being too heavy, while the mirror-polished finish gives a smart appearance that complements any table setting. In professional settings, this durability translates to fewer replacements—making Kings 18/0 a practical investment for hospitality venues of all sizes.
