What is the best quality stainless flatware?

1 Answer
What is the best quality stainless flatware?
The highest quality flatware is dependent on the flatware's ratio of chromium to nickel. There are three possible ratios: 18/10, 18/8, or 18/0. The best flatware is 18% chromium and 10% nickel, and less prone to rusting.
