Kingwood features a distinctive woodgrain texture which transitions to a brilliant, highly polished mirror finish. Each piece is fabricated from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, with a long-lasting silver-like luster. The dinner knife is forged for superior cutting precision. The flatware features carefully polished surfaces and edges which both look and feel good. The heavy gauge and substantial sizing result in perfect balance and the feeling of quality in the hand. ZWILLING flatware is dishwasher safe.
