I bought the cutlery set because of how it looks, but after having used it for a week, the set’s aesthetics is well complimented by its functionality as well. The curved edge at the end of the handles rests your thumb well giving a nice grips The spoons have a nice deep scoop that can serve as a soup spoon as well. The forks are slim and slender, giving your dining an elegant experience. The knives aren’t particularly special. They serve their purpose, which is exactly the point. Overall, I love the set and have no regrets about the purchase.
