Upgrade your table with cutlery and silverware from HENCKELS. A cutlery set includes the essential pieces used at each place setting—typically a dinner fork, salad fork, dinner knife, tablespoon, and teaspoon—crafted in high quality 18/10 stainless steel for lasting durability, rust resistance, and a polished look that works for everyday meals and special occasions alike.
For anyone looking to upgrade their dining experience with premium, comfortable flatware, this selection makes it easier to compare styles, finishes, and set makeup before you browse. Choose from classic silver, modern black, and elegant gold designs, and learn the key differences between cutlery and silverware, what to look for in a set, and how to care for it so each piece keeps its balance, finish, and feel over time.
Historically, cutlery refers specifically to cutting instruments and knives, while silverware refers to forks and spoons traditionally made or plated with real silver. Today, both terms are used interchangeably alongside flatware to describe any metal dining utensils used for serving and eating food. At HENCKELS, our premium cutlery and silverware sets are crafted from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, offering a beautiful silver-like luster with modern, rust-resistant durability.
The typical cutlery set includes a variety of pieces designed to cover all your dining needs. Most commonly, a set contains a dinner fork, salad fork, dinner knife, tablespoon, and teaspoon, which together form a complete place setting. Larger flatware sets may also include additional pieces such as steak knives, serving utensils, and cheese knives to accommodate more diverse dining occasions. This range of options allows you to choose the best set for your household size and entertaining style.
Stainless steel flatware can be made from 18/10, 18/8, or 18/0 grades. The numbers 18/10 represent the percentages of chromium (18%) and nickel (10%) present in the steel alloy. Chromium is essential for providing excellent rust and corrosion resistance, while nickel gives the cutlery sets their brilliant, silver-like luster and exceptional strength. This composition ensures that your silverware sets remain highly durable, scratch-resistant, and suitable for everyday dining.
While 18/10 stainless steel is highly resistant to staining and corrosion, proper care preserves its long-term brilliance. To prevent water spots and rust film from other metal items in the dishwasher, avoid leaving your cutlery in a closed, damp environment for extended periods. We recommend removing your silverware shortly after the cleaning cycle ends and wiping it down with a lint-free, soft cloth before placing it in your storage drawer.
To set the table correctly, start by placing the dinner plate in the center. Forks go on the left side of the plate, with the dinner fork placed closest to the plate and the salad fork to its left. Knives are positioned on the right side of the plate, with the cutting edge facing inward, followed by spoons to the right of the knives. Align all flatware so their bottoms are even with the bottom edge of the dinner plate. Arrange utensils in the order they will be used, placing the items used first on the outside. This setup ensures ease and elegance when dining and hosting guests.
