What materials are generally used for the cutlery and fork in the western tableware on the market?

I wrote this article with trepidation, because what I wrote below will definitely drive many factories that produce knives and forks crazy. What materials are generally used for knives and forks in western tableware on the market?


In 2018, editor was fortunate to receive a large order in Europe to purchase a full set of western knives such as knives and forks.Everyone knows that the factory where Editor is located produces water cups, plastic water cups and stainless steel water cups, although there are also stainless steel products.However, it is like a mountain, so the factory where Editor is located cannot produce it, so we can only find a factory that can produce cutlery and forks in the market.


SoEditor and colleagues visited a city famous for knife and fork production.Factories producing stainless steel cutlery and forks abound here.We visited 5 reserved factories in one day, and also visited 2 factories that were just passing by and visited.


By visiting these factories we found many differences and some similarities.The difference is reflected in the management of the enterprise, the professionalism of the product, the emphasis on the quality, the enthusiasm for the customer and so on.Although most of these factories have done detailed backtracking before the visit, we believe that both product quality and production scale are much higher than other companies.


However, after the actual field inspection, it was found that only 2 of the 5 factories that had been reserved were in line with the content of the previous communication, and 3 of them did not match the content of the communication in terms of production management and production capacity.The production scale and production management of the two randomly visited companies are also ordinary, but one of them has the strongest product development capability among so many companies.


What these factories have in common is that the materials used in the production of cutlery and forks are basically SUS430 stainless steel without the explicit request of the customer.In the previous article, the editor just clearly mentioned that SUS430 should not be called stainless steel but stainless steel iron.Regarding why SUS430 is used, the basic answer of these manufacturers is that this material is food-grade, has high hardness, will not rust, and there is no problem with export and domestic sales.


But if you need to use SUS304, you can, but the unit price of the product will be higher.Speaking of this, I believe my friends also understand.In the case of the lack of professional knowledge of the editor, I could only silently believe that what they said was true.However, after the study and understanding of the editor, the editor found that in the comparison of SUS430 and SUS304 materials, the hardness of SUS304 is significantly higher than the former.


Many years have passed, and I believe that these factories have also used SUS304 stainless steel as the main production material.However, the editor still recommends that you should first understand what the production materials are when you buy Western-style knives and forks.Make sure it is safe before purchasing.


After all, the above article is limited by time, and the editor also believes that the knives and forks on the market are safe food grade.If this content of the editor has an impact on the factories that produce cutlery and forks, please do not misunderstand, the editor has explained that this is only what happened in 2018, and does not represent the current time.
