How Matisse 18/10 Stainless Steel Cutlery Works
The magic of Matisse cutlery lies in its meticulous composition and engineering. The 18/10 classification isn't just fancy numbers—it means 18% chromium for corrosion resistance and 10% nickel for that brilliant silver-like shine that keeps looking smart even after hundreds of dishwasher cycles. Each piece undergoes multiple polishing stages to achieve that perfect mirror finish, while the balanced weight distribution ensures they sit comfortably in the hand. The manufacturing process includes heat treatment that strengthens the metal, preventing the bending and warping that plagues cheaper alternatives—meaning your forks won't twist and knives stay properly aligned for years of service.
