How Mayfair 18/0 Stainless Steel Cutlery Works

The beauty of Mayfair 18/0 stainless steel cutlery lies in its straightforward functionality and clever composition. The '18/0' designation refers to the metal alloy containing 18% chromium and 0% nickel—creating flatware that resists corrosion while maintaining an attractive shine. Each piece undergoes a precise manufacturing process where the steel is cut, formed, polished and finished to create balanced, comfortable flatware. The classic design features a satin finish that hides minor scratches and fingerprints, while the substantial weight provides the quality feel diners expect. Unlike domestic cutlery, these professional pieces withstand thousands of washing cycles without warping or bending!
