Any
hand utensil used in preparing, serving, and especially eating food can be
referred to as cutlery. The knife, fork and spoon are the main items of
cutlery in the western world. Two types of utensils merging the
functionality of different forms of cutlery are the spork (spoon/fork) and
the knork (knife/fork). Cutlery gained prominence in the Middle Ages, and
has been manufactured in a lot of places.
The cutlery industry
initially embraced the production of all cutting instruments of whatever
form or material. However, the development of modern industry has
disconnected from it the production of various types of edge tools, saws and
like implements, the manufacture of which is now looked upon as forming
separate branches of trade.
More About Cutlery
Cutlery steel consists of iron to which from 0.35 to 1 percent carbon has
been added. In the 21st century much cutlery is manufactured from
stainless steel. The various kinds of cutlery all have unique uses, the
blade being the main decisive factor. Processes in the manufacture of table
cutlery include:
-
Forging
the steel into the preferred blade shape
-
Hardening and
tempering it properly
-
Grinding
the blade to a cutting edge and getting rid of all traces of forging and
heat treatment
-
Polishing the blade,
and
-
Making, fitting, and
polishing the handle, a practice known as cutling.
