The knife is what attracted my attention. It's even easier to use than a standard knife. Each setting looks sleek and modern. The matching serving pieces also nice. Wish there was a matching pie server.
Appreciate that each item was protected by a recyclable plastic sleeve, but would prefer paper or something less environmentally wasteful.
Product is good but the fatal flaw is that the knives do not fit well into a cutlery drawer. They should make some sort of custom cutlery holder for this set due to the obscure knife design
I’ll keep it straight to the point. I purchased these for my Fiancé. We both were raised to hold silverware in European manner. Regardless of what the other reviews say the knives are probably the most comfortable knives I’ve held in a long time, even if they’re quirky to use and balance isn’t perfect. On the other hand the forks lack some weight and if you hold forks upside down, the square butt of the fork is very sharp on the palm of the hand. Again this is dependent on how the forks are held, but my fiancé said she will never like using these forks.
Solid, well made, pieces are well balanced. These are the first flatware I haven't bent in basic use. The design is simple, elegant and nice in the hand. For me, the teaspoon is just a bit short. Finish is still bright years after purchase - returned to replace pieces lost to small hands and school / garbage / carelessness. We have had for years and never regretted. No signs of rust or discoloration at any time. Knife design is superior.
