Stainless Steel (STL)

Stainless Steel is one of our favorites! We use 304 Stainless which is very strong, and will not tarnish, or rust. It does have a lower nickel content than other varieties but it is not considered Hypoallergenic as it contains 8% nickel. If metal allergies are a concern, alternatives can be made available in metals such as Silver/Gold/Titanium, and Niobium.
