Edgewood 6 1/2" 18/0 Stainless Steel Heavy Weight Butter Spreader - 12/Case

Separate knives from forks and spoons, and position blades to point upwards. Flatware should be removed promptly and dried immediately before storing. Drying with a soft, microfiber cloth is recommended.

Restaurant flatware comes in four different weights: forged, extra-heavy, heavy, and medium weight. The weight refers to the type and quality of the stainless steel and does not necessarily correspond to the heft of an item.

• Forged flatware is the thickest and strongest as it's made from a single piece of thick stainless steel and is extremely durable to withstand any commercial environment.



• Extra-heavy weight flatware is a premium grade and exudes a level of quality for finer establishments, feels sturdy, and is difficult to bend. It is made from either 18/0, 18/8, or 18/10 stainless steel.



• Heavy Weight Flatware is more durable than medium and makes for a nice presentation for fast-casual or mid-level eateries.



• The lightest option is Medium Weight Flatware, also called economy weight, and is commonly sought after by the value-minded customer.

All wood products should be hand washed. The heat and chemicals of a dishwasher are harmful to wood’s naturally porous texture. If your product begins to show signs of wear, its finish can be restored with a food-safe wood conditioner. First, clean and dry the wood. Then, apply the wood conditioner with a soft cloth or paper towel. Once the conditioner has soaked into the item, buff off any excess with a clean cloth. Having excess conditioner on a wood board will make it feel sticky or oily.

Due to differences in composition between the knives and other flatware items, it is best to separate them in different baskets to avoid corrosion. We recommend washing the knives separately and drying them right away to maintain the quality of your Acopa knives long-term. Please refer to our “Instructions” resource guide for more information.
