What is .925 Sterling Silver?
The Short Answer:
Sterling silver consists of at least 92.5 percent silver and 7.5% percent of other metals like copper, nickel, or both. The reason for this is Pure Silver or Fine Silver, is very soft and very malleable making it easy to damage or bend. Other metal alloys like copper or nickel are added to the silver to make a more durable piece.
All items sold by Silver Superstore as “Sterling Silver” contain at least 92.5% percent Silver and are stamped with either “.925”, “Sterling Silver”, or both.

What does " w/stamp " mean?
As of April 2022, Fortessa is no longer stamping their logo in their flatware pieces. We do have some stock left of the stamped versions. If you are looking to match your older, stamped, pieces you will want to select the pieces denoted with “w/stamp”.

I recently purchased the Miyabi Birchwood SG2 8-inch Chef’s Knife, and while I haven’t had the chance to use it yet, I’m already impressed by the craftsmanship. The blade is stunning, with a beautifully patterned 101-layer Damascus steel finish and a razor-sharp Honbazuke edge that speaks to its precision. The Karelian Birchwood handle feels smooth, balanced, and ergonomic in hand, and the overall design reflects the kind of care and tradition you’d expect from Japanese knife-making. I’m genuinely looking forward to putting it to work in the kitchen and seeing how it performs with real prep.
This is one of the more beautiful Japanese knives that I've seen. Comes out the box extremely sharp, slices effortlessly.
One of the best knives I've ever used. Sharp, Smooth cutting and light. The handle feels like an extension to my arm. I will be collecting a set very soon.
I love this knife! After trying dozens of chef knives, this was light and balanced and fit perfectly in my small hand. Some of the wording has come off after years of use, but I expect that to happen.
