Lower numbers usually are tougher, higher numbers are usually more resistant to corrosion. What George said about being magnetic is a good indicator. If it's magnetic - it's NOT a good grade of stainless. True 304 or 316 stainless isn't magnetic. (I have found alot of Japaneese stainless is magnetic). > > > > _______________________________________________________________ > Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
