Here are some of the questions we hear most often about our flatware — forks, spoons, and knives. If you don't see your question answered here, feel free to reach out to our team directly.
What material is Finewick flatware made from?
Our flatware is made from stainless steel, a material commonly chosen for everyday utensils because it holds up well to regular use and repeated washing. Exact finish and grade can vary slightly between collections, so we'd recommend checking the specific product listing for details on the piece you're interested in.
Is Finewick flatware dishwasher safe?
In most cases, yes — our flatware is designed to handle regular dishwasher use. To help the finish last as long as possible, we'd suggest avoiding overcrowding the utensil basket and keeping flatware away from direct contact with heating elements during the drying cycle.
Will the flatware rust or discolor with regular use?
Stainless steel flatware is generally resistant to rust under normal use and care. That said, leaving utensils wet or in contact with certain foods (like salty or acidic leftovers) for extended periods can occasionally affect the surface finish over time. Drying pieces promptly after washing helps keep them looking their best.
How should I clean and store my flatware?
We recommend washing your flatware promptly after use, either by hand or in the dishwasher, and drying it right away rather than letting it air-dry in a wet basket. For storage, keeping pieces in a dry utensil tray or drawer, rather than piled together while damp, helps prevent surface marks over time.
Is Finewick flatware safe for everyday food contact?
Yes, our flatware is made for everyday use with food, following standard practices for food-contact utensils. As with any tableware, we'd recommend inspecting pieces periodically and replacing any utensil that becomes bent, cracked, or damaged from wear.
Do your sets include matching forks, knives, and spoons, or are pieces sold individually?
This depends on the specific listing. Many of our sets are sold as coordinated collections that include forks, knives, and spoons designed to match, while some pieces are also available individually. The product page for each item will specify exactly what's included.
Can I mix pieces from different Finewick collections together?
You can, though keep in mind that finish and design details can vary between collections, so pieces from different lines may not look identical side by side. If matching finish is important to you, we'd suggest comparing product photos closely, or reaching out to us before ordering if you're unsure.
Does the weight of the flatware affect how it feels to use?
Yes, weight and balance are part of how flatware feels in your hand while eating, and this can vary by design and collection. If hand feel matters to you, checking the product description and photos for each piece can help you get a sense of what to expect before your order arrives.
