The AlphaLight Cutlery uses a durable hard-anodised aircraft grade aluminium combined with a sleek-yet-strong shape to create an extremely lightweight utensil at a surprisingly affordable price. By hard anodising the aluminium it forms a kind of “exoskeleton” so the shape of the utensils can be slimmer and lighter. This hardened shell also encapsulates the aluminium, so there’s no risk of the alloy leaching into food.
