![[Kogan First] Ovela 16pc Stainless Steel Cutlery Set $7.99 Delivered (Free 14 Day Kogan First Trial) @ Kogan](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/49/725749.jpg?h=ce845253)

Kogan has a 16pc stainless steel cutlery set for $7.99 delivered with Kogan First. The set includes 4 knives, 4 forks, 4 tablespoons and 4 teaspoons. The stainless steel grade is SS430. They are a slim, minimalist design with a matte finish.
I purchased this cutlery set when it was $12.99 as I needed some extra cutlery for everyday use, and Kmart wouldn't deliver anything with knives. So far this set has been fine in the dishwasher.
Kogan keeps offering me free Kogan First 14-day trials this year even though I've had multiple trials, so I assume anybody can get the free trial. Just remember to cancel or you'll be charged an annual subscription.
’18/8′ is probably the most commonly used stainless steel and contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel.
This steel is also known as ‘304’ (in the American AISI grade designation system) or 1.4301 in the European BS EN 10088 standard.
It is an ‘austenitic’ type of stainless steel and so is not (or only very weakly) attracted by a magnet.
’18/10′ is a designation used on some cutlery and holloware as an alternative to ’18/8′. This designation is claimed to indicate a better quality steel than ’18/8′, and is essentially the same as the ‘304 (1.4301) grade . In practice the “10” does not indicate an actual higher Ni content and is purely a marketing ploy.
’18/0’ is a ‘ferritic’ stainless steel type, which is attracted by a magnet (like pure iron). This steel is known as ‘430’ in the AISI system or 1.4016 in the European standard.
It is used where corrosion resistance is not too demanding as an alternative to the ’18/8′ 304 type. The chromium content is optimistically said to be 18% but is nearer 17%.
