What is the difference between mirror and satin finish cutlery?

Mirror finish cutlery is highly polished and reflective. At Studio William, our cutlery passes through approximately 45 different polishing processes to achieve this finish. Satin cutlery is finely brushed, making it softer to the touch and less reflective. Both finishes are carefully quality controlled for consistency.
