The Cutipol range is a diverse collection of cutlery with many leading edge modern designs and a large offering of classical designs.  Great attention is paid to detail and many of the company’s patterns call for a high degree of technical knowledge and meticulous care.  Cutipol cutlery is the result of a constant effort for improvement, an insatiable spirit of innovation and the gathering of expertise and know-how that dates back to the very origins of the cutlery industry in Portugal. Traditional hands-on craftsmanship is paired with modern technology to produce these superb contemporary flatware pieces.  Modern machinery is used for much of the initial work but traditional craftsmanship still plays a major role.  While the use of machinery and a cer­tain level of automation are common within the industry to facilitate consistent production and improve safety, Cutipol artisans employ their skills and expertise in forging and shaping steel, which are further refined with machines around them. Cutipol flatware is sourced exclusively from highly regarded, long-standing Portuguese and Italian makers. Judicious selection of raw materials together with an ergonomic form and practical design with a finish shows quality control with total commitment. Cutipol flatware is available in Sterling Silver, Silver Plate or 18/10 Stainless Steel. Cutipol selects the finest raw materials to produce its flatware pieces. However, even the highest quality stainless steel  may stain if not properly taken care. To maintain the look of your Cutipol cutlery throughout the years follow the recommendations below: After each use, wash the cutlery in warm water and mild detergent. Avoid using detergents with chlorine or anti-limestone agents. Hand Wash:  When hand washing your cutlery, avoid using abrasive cloths or scrubs.  Be sure to wash off any food remains as soon as possible after use. Dishwasher:  If washing your cutlery in a dishwasher, make sure that at the end of cycle the flatware pieces are completely dry. Hand dry them with soft cloth, if still wet.  Minimize contact of the flatware with the dishwasher steam. Remove the cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the cycle has finished and wipe each item with a dry soft cloth, even if the item looks dry. Knife Blades:  Take extra care with knife blades. Knife blades are made of 420 steel to give them more cutting power and hardness. This means they are less resistant to oxidation . Make sure they are washed straight after use and well dried before storing.  They should be kept in a dry place.
