The set is beautiful and no photos, even mine, show what the flatware truly looks like in person. The handles are a mixture of satin and mirror stainless which makes it hard to see in photos as the mirror stainless is just a thin line on the right side and forks into the tear drop at the bottom.

I would give it a 4.5 as my only disappointment was that the teaspoon and salad fork seemed a lot lighter in weight compared to the rest of the set. I wouldn't think their smaller size should matter that much as it was very obvious to me. The rest of it was quite hefty and balanced, especially the knife which made cutting a breeze. For a 18/10 set, the price was amazing.
