- Dinner Knife, 8 1/2"
We bought several pieces from this pattern and they really hold their shine. I chose the 18/8 because of so many negative reviews of rust on other patterns. These only see residential use and we did witness lots of rust only on the knives. Usually this grade of Stainless will only rust in the presence of strong corrosive. I suspect these are actually high carbon steel with a 18/8 S.S. veneer that can be a little porous and allowing moisture in. I am guessing this is not an issue in commercial washers but for consumer level it is. We now hand wash the knives and dry them thoroughly and that has minimized the problem. As for shape, size and utility, they are fine and the aggressive serrations can really power through a tough cut of beef.
