Each pattern produced under the Y name, in both his own factory and in his worldwide sister factories bears the characteristics for which Y is recognized. Only the best stainless steel is used. Intricate tooling and die work is made to create designs that inspire designers to stretch even further into beauty in form and function. The tines of the forks are carefully polished, the bowls of the spoons are gracefully formed, and the blades of the knives are perfectly sharpened to insure that the result is equal to the best prepared meals. Serving pieces in every pattern are designed to compliment that specific design, not to be cookie cutter items to go with everything. Mr. Yi and his family would have it no other way.In 2003, for the first time in history, Mr. Y permitted a giftware design to be produced and carry his signature. The Signature Series of tabletop and gift items carry his name for one simple reason they uphold his vision of creating the finest in stainless steel tableware.The company welcomes you to join with it in experiencing fine products in your home.
