There are some manufacturers who produce cutlery with handles made from coloured acrylic. There is a significant difference as regards the quality of the metal anchoring, the synthetic material used & the surface finish. This Sabre cutlery, in a classic & timeless design, has also passed our "tried & trusted" test. It is dishwasher safe. The metal parts are made from stainless steel, & the knives will remain permanently sharp. The cutlery items are virtually unbreakable, the surface of the acrylic handles are polished & the edges of the casting moulds have been carefully removed. Knife 24 cm (912;” approx.).
