Highlights
Good tableware doesn't announce itself — it just makes everything on the table look better. RIM's Natural Lacquered Maple Cutlery does exactly that: premium 18/10 stainless steel meets hand-finished maple wood, coated six or more times with ottchil (natural lacquer), a material Koreans have trusted for centuries to protect, purify, and last.
좋은 식탁은 요리가 나오기 전부터 시작돼요. 정성껏 차린 음식만큼, 그 음식을 담고 나르는 도구도 식탁의 분위기를 만들거든요. 최고급 스테인리스와 생옻칠 단풍나무 손잡이가 만난 림 커트러리로, 매일의 식사를 조금 더 특별하게 완성해보세요.

Description
Where stainless steel ends and craft begins
Most flatware stops at the metal. RIM's Maple Cutlery goes further. The food-contact end is made from 18/10 stainless steel — the same grade used in professional kitchens, chosen for its corrosion resistance, durability, and food-safe reliability. But it's the handle that tells the real story: solid maple wood, finished with six or more layers of ottchil, raw lacquer derived from the sap of the lacquer tree. It's a finishing technique that predates modern surface coatings by centuries in Korea, and it shows in every detail — the depth of color, the smooth resistance underhand, the way it holds up wash after wash.
Each piece is produced entirely in Korea, and because maple is a natural material, subtle variation in grain and tone from piece to piece isn't a flaw. It's the point.
Why ottchil, and why it matters
Natural lacquer has been used in Korean craft for its functional properties as much as its beauty. Ottchil is inherently antimicrobial and waterproof — it creates a sealed surface that resists bacterial contamination over time without any synthetic additives. Unlike painted or resin-coated handles that can chip or peel, a properly lacquered surface becomes more integrated with the wood beneath it the longer it's used. The result is a handle that is genuinely low-maintenance, not just low-profile.
One note on care: because the handles are natural wood, they need a little consideration. Hand washing is best. Avoid soaking, dishwashers, and heat sterilization — high-temperature drying in particular can cause the wood to warp or crack over time.
How to use it
RIM's cutlery comes in three configurations, each sold separately — Korean, Western, and Dessert — so you can build the table setting that actually fits how you eat. The Korean set (spoon and chopsticks) works equally well for a quiet bowl of doenjang jjigae on a Tuesday or a composed Korean spread on the weekend. The Western set (dinner knife and fork) handles everything from weeknight pasta to a proper dinner party without missing a beat. The Dessert set, slightly smaller in scale, pulls double duty as children's flatware — proportioned well for smaller hands without sacrificing any of the design.
Mix and match across sets to build a table that reflects the way you actually cook.
스테인리스가 끝나는 곳에서 시작되는 것
림 커트러리는 음식에 닿는 부분과 손에 닿는 부분, 두 가지 모두에 최선을 다한 제품이에요. 음식과 직접 닿는 부분은 18-10 스테인리스 스틸로 만들어졌어요. 부식에 강하고 내구성이 뛰어난 이 소재는 전문 주방에서도 널리 쓰이는 최고 등급으로, 위생적이고 안전하게 오랫동안 사용할 수 있어요. 그리고 손잡이에서 림 커트러리만의 이야기가 시작돼요. 단단한 단풍나무 원목에 생옻을 6회 이상 겹겹이 올려 완성한 손잡이는, 볼수록 깊이가 느껴지는 색감과 손에 쥐었을 때의 묵직한 안정감이 달라요. 전통 도장 기법 특유의 마감은 수십 번을 씻어도 흐트러지지 않고 오히려 손에 익어가는 느낌이에요. 100% 국내 생산 제품이며, 천연 소재인 단풍나무 특성상 나무결의 색감과 패턴이 제품마다 조금씩 다를 수 있어요. 똑같이 찍어낸 것이 아니라는 증거이기도 하고요.
왜 옻칠인가, 그리고 왜 중요한가
옻칠은 단순한 마감재가 아니에요. 한국에서 수백 년간 이어져 온 전통 도장 기법으로, 옻나무 수액을 원료로 층층이 발라 완성하는 방식이에요. 생옻은 그 자체로 강력한 항균력과 방수성을 지니고 있어서, 오래 사용해도 세균이 번식하기 어려운 표면을 유지해줘요. 합성 수지나 페인트 코팅처럼 시간이 지나면 벗겨지거나 갈라지는 것과는 달리, 제대로 된 옻칠 마감은 나무와 함께 깊이 자리 잡아 쓸수록 더 단단해져요. 오래 쓰는 게 맞는 물건이에요.
한 가지만 기억해두세요. 천연 나무 손잡이인 만큼 관리에 약간의 주의가 필요해요. 세척은 손으로 가볍게 해주시고, 물에 오래 담가두거나 식기세척기, 열탕 소독은 피해주세요. 고온 건조가 반복되면 나무가 뒤틀리거나 갈라질 수 있어요.
어떻게 활용할까
림 커트러리는 한식, 양식, 디저트 세 가지 구성으로 각각 판매돼요. 내 식탁에 맞는 조합을 골라 쓸 수 있고, 세 가지를 함께 구성하면 어떤 요리에도 잘 어울리는 완성된 테이블 세팅이 돼요. 한식 세트(숟가락+젓가락)는 평일 저녁 조용히 먹는 된장찌개 한 그릇에도, 손님을 초대한 한식 상차림에도 자연스럽게 어울려요. 양식 세트(디너 나이프+포크)는 평범한 파스타 한 접시부터 제대로 된 디너 파티까지 두루 소화해요. 디저트 세트는 크기가 조금 작아서 아이들 커트러리로 함께 활용하기에도 딱 좋아요. 각 세트를 조합해서 내 식탁만의 스타일로 완성해보세요.

The brand has built a following among design-conscious Korean consumers who want their homes to reflect how they actually want to live, not just how things have always been done.

01 · OUR CRAFT
Made By Hand, Not By Machine
Every jar and bottle comes from master artisans and small family producers across Korea, not a factory line. They still ferment in traditional earthenware, age for months or even years, and follow methods passed down through generations, the same way it's always been done.

02 · OUR PROOF
Recognized By Chefs, Not Just Labels
Our producers hold official heritage titles and food-safety certifications that aren't handed out easily. Many have been featured by international media and praised by Michelin-starred chefs around the world, proof that real craftsmanship gets noticed, not just claimed on a label.
About Us:
At Kim’C Market, our mission is to introduce a better, more authentic culinary experience—by offering premium Korean food products that are healthy, tasty, and thoughtfully sourced.
We started Kim’C Market because getting real Korean groceries in the U.S. was nearly impossible—unless you stuffed your suitcase on the way back from Korea. You deserve more than what’s on the shelves at generic supermarkets.
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I receive my package?
We ship out orders only in the US, no later than
two business days after the balance on your order has been processed.
Delivery is made 1-3 days from date the label is created with selected
carrier service.
How do you source?
With our mission to improve people’s health by
providing premium Korean foods, Kim’C Market only offers the best
quality food from the finest producers in Korea. All of our offerings
have passed 12 internal criteria including taste, producer’s reputation,
sourcing of ingredients, and brand philosophy.
Sell by date
Every food product at Kim'C Market with less than 3 months to the sell by dates announce the date in the title page.
As a small company focusing on the best customer experience and
transparency, Kim'C Market is putting a weight on sharing information on food and correcting myths instead of asking producers to print later dates. (Fact: producers put a lot shorter dates than the lab tests suggest because they can't control the storage and distribution.) Sell by date doesn't mean the food is bad after the date or not edible. It especially doesn't reply to fermented foods - i.e. wouldn't you value aged kimchi or 5 years fermented doenjang? Please read our blog: Understanding Best-By Dates. We will continue to make efforts to educate our members and contribute to anti-global warming efforts.
