Also known as 18/8 stainless steel, 304 is one of the most commonly used materials in kitchen tools due to its excellent corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. It contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, which provide a strong protective layer against rust and staining. Cheese tools made from 304 stainless steel are durable, hygienic, and maintain a bright, polished appearance over time, making them ideal for everyday use.
