With timeless good looks and the renowned craftsmanship of Henckels, the Metrona flatware set is the perfect match for every meal, from hasty breakfasts to grand holiday feasts. Featuring an octagonal tip, banded neck and the polished glow of 18/10 stainless steel.Zwilling J.a. Henckels flatware is heavy gauge weight, produced from 18/10 stainless steel. The 18% chrome provides for maximum corrosion resistance and the 10% nickel gives each piece a brilliant finish. Other products that do not claim to be produced from 18/10 stainless steel or that use 18/0 stainless steel do not offer these benefits and can corrode in a short time of use.
