This is a very nice, casual set. I have medium-large size hands for a female. I love that this set is bigger than most flatware I have used with more weight. Some people with small hands may not like that. But the guys that have used it seem to really like it.
I like the satin look, however, this set does show water spots. And if your hands have any oil on them at all, the satin part shows the fingerprints. I do not host any formal gatherings, so this set works fine for my every day use. If I am having people over for dinner, I wipe the flatware down with club soda and it sparkles like new. I would love to get another set, but will wait until I see it on sale or find a site that has a coupon deal going.
Overall, I like this set. I just wish it didn't show spotting so badly. It feels significant in your hand and doesn't feel like if you push the knife too hard on the plate, it will bend. I don't think that will happen! Nice for every day use - buy something a little more expensive if planning on hosting formal gatherings.
I needed a sturdy set that works well for every day use. I also wanted something that had the satin finish. And third, I wanted something that had some weight to it. So for that, I think I found a great flatware set."..." Read more
