Title: Ginkgo Stainless is 18/0 NOT 18/10
Review: If the stainless the first reviewer has in her hand is 18/10, then Ginkgo has changed the composition of its stainless in the past three years. I, too, have a piece in my hand and it is 18/0 (purchased within the past month). Stainless steel used in flatware is a composite of different steels and varies in terms of grades for different uses. The main ingredient in flatware is chromium and nickel has been added to provide a resistance to corrosion.Therefore flatware that is 18/10 means that 18% is chromium and 10% is nickel. The higher the nickel content, the more protection the flatware has from corrosion. Prices of stainless steel flatware vary considerably depending on these specs, so don't be fooled into thinking you are buying the best quality, if the nickel content is 0%. This is unfortunate because I really like the simplicity of the Ginkgo Varberg design.
