The set is beautiful and the way the knife sits on the table also looks very nice. But it is a nightmare after starting use this knife. Due to this design, the knife will never stay inside the plate after you're done with the food. it will slip out to the floor, to your lap or to the table, 100% sure. My only mistake was to notice this too long after purchase, once I was saving to use with special guests. Now I am stuck with this annoying knife, splashing sauce out of the plate every time somebody tries to rest the knife on the plate, or collect the dishes.
The set maintains its shine and I love the simplicity of the design. The knives can be placed face down (instead of sideways) and that gives them lift- makes it fun and unique
We received the 45 piece set (or one that looks identical, also from Zwilling) for our wedding over 9 years ago! Each utensil is thick and durable, and other than some tiny chips in a spoon from getting stuck in the disposal (we buffed them out) and losing 2 small forks, the entire set has held up wonderfully!! I would quickly recommend this set to anyone. They are a higher quality than any set I've seen or used before.
Bought this set 10 years ago and have loved it so very much. With daily use it has withstood the test of time and dishwasher. I ordered a new set because somehow we have managed to lose multiple pieces.
Loved my first set so much I had to order another. They are so stylish and that cool knife design sold me! They have a very nice weight to them and definitely bring a feel of elegance to the tabletop!
