I love love love this silverware. I would definitely recommend because theyre strong and sturdy but there is one strange thing you would never know if you didnt have round-handled forks. With a normal fork, you know which way your fork is facing because the handle is flat and you can feel it in your hand. These are completely round so you literally have to look at every bite because your fork turns and it might be facing the wrong way from your mouth. Weird, i know, but i would have never have thought this was a big deal if I had not bought this set. Still love them since they are so unique.
