I had an old set of this pattern from Oneida back when they were still manufactured domestically, and was looking to get more since some pieces have gone missing over the years. These are now being made in China and (whether or not that's the cause) the quality has gone way down. The new pieces are visibly different from the old, despite being sold as the identical pattern. The knife in particular has a much flatter handle, details aren't as sharp, and everything feels much flimsier and lower quality. If you like this pattern and are buying it for the first time, this might not matter to you. As a standalone without comparing them to the older version, this flatware is okay. Not great, not terrible. But I am very disappointed and wish I had sought out vintage pieces.
