My biggest pet peeve with silverware is when it bends, like digging a spoon into some hard ice cream. This set is extremely durable. The size of the utensils feels good. If anything, the knives feel a little *too* heavy, but I won't complain. However, something I noticed right out of the box is many of the edges are not rounded off. Some of the spoons have a slight burr that you don't notice when you're eating but you can feel with your finger. I don't see it being an issue and the burr will wear itself down overtime. Just something to be aware of.
I adore this silverware set. I have had this set for several weeks now, but I waited to review it, because I wanted to see how it stands up through washing. I have put the silverware through many washes, and it still looks like new! The silverware has some weight to it, which is exactly what I wanted. I must say that the large spoons are massive, but hey, that’s just more food eaten sooner, right? I would definitely recommend this set. It’s an amazing price for a great set of silverware. Do yourself a favor and order yourself a set.
I have more expensive flatware that I don't really like. On a lark I decided to buy this.. I like the shape of it better. It fits in your hand and doesn't have pressure points. So far, in my dishwasher, I don't see a bunch of rust like I've seen in other flatware sets I've had. But like I said, It's cheap. The knives seem pretty stout, but the spoons and forks are thinner and are not as nice. But, that's not saying they are bad. If I was just starting out...
Great looking set, very shiny and elegant looking. They also feel pretty sturdy in your hand. No signs of rust or wear, we have taken special care not to soak for long periods. Of note - each piece is individually wrapped upon arrival, be EXTRA careful removing the wrapper from the knives, they are surprisingly sharp and haste may lead to an accidental finger slicing :(
