Harmony 9 3/8" Stainless Steel Extra Heavy Weight Steak Knife - 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.

If handwashing, do not use abrasive sponges, pads, or soaps to avoid unnecessary scratching. Wash and dry knives separately from other flatware. If your steak knives are dishwasher safe, wash them separately from spoons and forks, and do not use any harsh chemicals. Blades should face upwards to protect them from corrosion. The best method for storing and drying your steak knives is to hand-dry them with a clean, dry cloth.

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.

While this utensil is dishwasher safe, to extend its life and reduce potential rust issues caused by repeated cycles through a dishwasher, hand washing is recommended.

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.
