How Oxford 18/10 Stainless Steel Cutlery Works

The magic behind Oxford 18/10 stainless steel cutlery lies in its careful composition. The 18% chromium content creates an invisible protective layer that resists corrosion and staining, while the 10% nickel enhances durability and adds that distinctive silver-like shine. Each piece undergoes meticulous polishing to achieve a flawless mirror finish that withstands high-temperature commercial dishwashing without dulling. The perfectly balanced design ensures comfortable handling for both staff and diners, with knife blades serrated precisely for clean, effortless cutting. These technical qualities translate to cutlery that performs brilliantly meal after meal, year after year.
