Nice solid quality beautiful silverware set. Sleek and modern! Fits perfectly with my modern decor. The metal used is heavy and super shiny. I love the way these pieces look. Now for the bad news. They are gorgeous to look at at but unfortunately utility was not designed into this set. The handles are so narrow, that I cannot put the silverware in my dishwasher utensil basket with handles down. They fall through the basket opening. This means I need to put them in handle side up. Not the best way to get these clean in the dishwasher! Additionally, the handles are so pointy and narrow they are hard to get a good grip on while you are using them. I ama 5’4” woman with smaller hands. I’d use these when I have company over because they are so beautiful. Not great for everyday use.
