18/10 steel cookware
On many products you will see a marking “18-10″ either by etching or by deep stamp marking. This indicates the type of steel the product is made of known as “Chrome-Nickel”steel. The composition/content of steel must be within the tolerances according to European standards, where 18(%) indicates the percentage of Chromium and 10(%) the percentage of Nickel. A good combination of the advantage of Chrome (corrosion resistance) and the brightness of Nickel. The qualities of 18/10 steel ensure that products are not prone to corrosion and have a high sheen specially when care instructions are followed properly.

18(%) indicates the percentage of Chromium and 0 means without Nickel but still with high corrosion resistance

13(%) indicates the percentage of Chromium and 0 means without Nickel but still with good corrosion resistance.

Knife blades are made of a different type of steel named high carbon knife steel. This type of steel can be hardened and re-shaped when needed. An advantage which ensures the sharpness and durability of the knife blades for a longer period of time.
