What you should know about flatware

Terminology, Material, Design

Flatware as it is used today, has only been in existence since the end of the 18th century. While individual items such as knives, forks and spoons are much older, they didn´t come in complete sets until the well-set table became a form of expression of particular lifestyle and culture.

Our flatware combines workmanship of the highest quality with durability and functionality. The table knives have outstanding cutting ability , thus following the tradition of J.A. HENCKELS INTERNATIONAL as a flatware manufacturer.
