The Milena flatware set from Henckels provides the enduring shine and durability of 18 10 stainless steel in a design that's stylish, too. Curved handles with banded accents define place settings and serving pieces for every occasion. Henckels flatware is heavy gauge weight, produced from 18 10 stainless steel. The 18% chrome provides for maximum corrosion resistance and the 10% nickel gives each piece a brilliant finish. Other products that do not claim to be produced from 18 10 stainless steel or that use 18 0 stainless steel do not offer these benefits and can corrode in a short time of use.
