i bought service for 8 a decade ago and wanted a couple of years later to fill it out to 12.  but the store had closed and i could never find it again. until now.  it's a fabulous set: a sleek contemporary design,elegant in its simplicity,  a very solid weight.   and i love the elegance of the brushed stainless finish which i've only seen elsewhere in super expensive flatware. have had many compliments on this set.
