I've noticed some high grade 316 types or 18/10 tend to be better at not being attracted to magnets, but not always ....
never say never
Anyway Alex ... I can't help with an opinion on the lady you spoke to, but atleast I gave you a reason to go and play around in your kitchen drawers with a magnet or 2.

It is a pity that more people are not as exact as we must all benefit from more detailed correct information..I am of course assuming all that you wrote is correct but if after my research, that I will conduct to check upon all you say, I find you are not on the money I will of course be back to point out any thing that does not agree with my research and I expect at that point we can review the matter more thougherly.
I have already checked all the forks in the house and next shop will take a magnet so I test any forks I see on display..this should reduce the probability ...however certainly a search on google is called for as I expect forks would have been predominately magnetic before stainless steel came into regular use.
