Trends to Look Out for in Kitchen Cutlery
Cutlery makes for good gifts year-round, and admired across the globe. From dinner forks to kitchen knives and everything in between, a diverse variety of kitchen cutlery has become a must-have in any kitchen. They are not only kept for their utilitarian function but also add a little flair, sass, and character to your kitchen.
As with any kitchen item, cutlery fashion comes and go. Old ones are reinvented and refreshed to give your kitchen a whole new feel and look. Nonetheless, if you are trying to accent your own set, a track on fresher trends is a must. Even if you aren't hunting for newer kitchen cutlery, it doesn't hurt to browse current trends. The different colors, shapes, styles, and blades.
Without much ado, here are the kitchen cutlery trends to look out for this season. They are popular in the kitchen cutlery circles. Read on - you will be glad you did.
Ceramic Knives are in, Steel Ones are Out
Ceramic knives are turning heads in the kitchen knife marketplace right now. Companies like Wilson Cutlery are leaving a major mark with their ceramic cutlery assortment. Their efforts haven't gone unnoticed: most home cooks and chefs are now ditching their steel knives.
Trends are favoring fruity-colored blades, including mint, raspberry, off-white, and lemon yellow. Why? They bring a breath of fresh air to any kitchen.
Color Trends
It's clear that color dominates this season's cutlery trends. We are all used to natural colors on blades, but noticeable colors are finding their way to cutlery scissors and kitchen knives. As you might expect with such a trend, cooking aficionados are welcoming the acceptance of bold colors. Orange green, red, and off-white are taking cutlery circles by storm because they complement most kitchen interior decor. Also, they boast a happy-making appeal.
Machine Blades are a winner!
Current machine blades offer a two-fold advantage in both physical appeal and unquestionable performance. Such brands as Victorinox made a serious comeback at the crack of 2016 because they switched to machine blades. Having gone through rigorous processing, these knives are poised to retain edge precision for an extended period. Henckels are also following suit.
Tang Designs and Bolstered Shapes
Knife manufacturers are betting new designs and shapes will bolster their sales. Experimenting with balance, weight, and control has since been their forte. A few days ago, Henckels presented a whole new horizontal tang. Use of high-quality stainless steel appear in many kitchen knives for improved, sharper edge - and edge retention.
Wrap-Up
There you are - cutlery market trends. This list doesn't mark the close of the trend, though. With so many options to choose from, there is a gray area between trendy and non-trendy cutlery. But one thing is clear: ceramic knives are here to stay!
