WMF Seattle Boxed Cutlery Set, 12 Place Settings

Seattle is a unique cutlery set consisting of 12 place settings of all the pieces you use everyday. 12 Dinner Knives 23.5 cm, 12 Dinner Forks 20.6cm, 12 Dinner Spoons 20.7cm, 12 Cake Forks 15.7cm and 12 Teaspoons 13.2cm. This cutlery set comes in a high quality gift box making it an ideal present, it is completely dishwasher safe and comes with a WMF guarantee against manufacturing and material defect. This versatile and stylish tableware from WMF will look great and work for years entertaining guests in your dining room, but because it has 12 of each of the pieces you use everyday gives this second option for your family. It will meet all the demands made of it in today’s busy family world.

This beautifully crafted cutlery set from WMF has a brilliant shine finish from their trade mark 18/10 stainless steel Cromargan®. Patented in 1927 it is of the highest quality and is integral to all WMF products which are recognised and sold world wide. Cromargan from WMF has 18% chrome for shine and 10% nickel for lustre and strength, the nickel also helps prevent rust and scratches, this means it will look great for a long time while working hard. All knives however have to be stronger than nickel allows to offer optimum cutting ability, so for this reason nickel is replaced (in the knives only) with molybdenum to make sure they meet the expectations of today’s consumers. The knife in this set is manufactured in this way in one piece which means that because of it’s different composition it will be heavier than the fork when both are held at the same time.

WMF has been a manufacturer since 1853, many of it’s early products can be seen regularly on Antiques programmes, they have many collectors around the world. WMF pioneered the manufacture of silver plate and 18/10 stainless steel in the early part of the 20th century both of which went onto to become industry standards. It has always offered cutting edge designs from Art Nouveau and Art Deco right up to today’s challenging requirements of premium quality and longevity at affordable prices. WMF are based in Germany where they have manufacturing, warehousing and administration facilities; they also have manufacturing facilities across Europe and in the far east which means they remain competitive whilst maintaining their reputation for quality.

Henckels International Fine Edge Pro 8 Piece Knife Block Set

December 15th, 2008 No comments

Henckels have been manufacturing quality knives in Solingen, Germany for over 275 years. Over the years they have developed the Friodur ice hardening process which results in extremely strong, flexible steel with a very good corrosion resistance. The manufacturing process also allows the blades to be thin which reduces the resistance when cutting through meat and vegetables.
