PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition, which is a high-tech process to add a thin, durable layer of metal compound to the cutlery pieces. These contemporary, coloured collections are ideal for design-forward, modern restaurants.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Stonewash Finish \u2013 A stonewashed finish refers to a textured, matte surface that is achieved through tumbling the cutlery alongside pieces of stone. This creates a rustic, patinaed effect that adds character to casual dining settings, check out Tanner Vintage or Sola Durban Vintage**. Stonewashed cutlery is extremely durable and has the added benefit of disguising scratches and finger marks, it\u2019s also low maintenance since it doesn\u2019t require polishing.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\r\n                                                        \r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                                    <div class=\"two-col-image-004__block  two-col-image-004__block--left\">\r\n                        <div class=\"two-col-image-004__image-col\">\r\n                            \n\n            <figure class=\"image-001 two-col-image-004__image-object\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-001__img  two-col-image-004__image\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.churchill1795.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Churchill-Cutlery-Blog-Images-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" >\n        <\/figure>\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"two-col-image-004__content-col\">\r\n                            \n    <h2 class=\"heading-001 heading-001--left two-col-image-004__heading\">\n        Gauge     <\/h2>\n \r\n\r\n                            \n    <div class=\"content-001 two-col-image-004__content\">\n        <p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW76211257 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW76211257 BCX8\">When we talk about gauge <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW76211257 BCX8\">we\u2019re<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW76211257 BCX8\"> referring to the thickness of the <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW76211257 BCX8\">table fork<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW76211257 BCX8\">and tablespoon <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW76211257 BCX8\">at the neck of the handle. <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW76211257 BCX8\">Cutlery ranges with a higher gauge<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW76211257 BCX8\"> are considered<\/span> <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW76211257 BCX8\">more premium, since they feel more <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW76211257 BCX8\">substantial and luxurious.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW76211257 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\r\n                                                        \r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                                    <div class=\"two-col-image-004__block  two-col-image-004__block--right\">\r\n                        <div class=\"two-col-image-004__image-col\">\r\n                            \n\n            <figure class=\"image-001 two-col-image-004__image-object\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image-001__img  two-col-image-004__image\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.churchill1795.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Churchill-Cutlery-Blog-Images-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" >\n        <\/figure>\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"two-col-image-004__content-col\">\r\n                            \n    <h2 class=\"heading-001 heading-001--left two-col-image-004__heading\">\n        Our Cutlery Brands     <\/h2>\n \r\n\r\n                            \n    <div class=\"content-001 two-col-image-004__content\">\n        <p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Churchill\u2019s cutlery collection features our own exclusive designs, manufactured in the finest quality 18\/10 stainless steel.
