Have recently moved from country life small historic downtown urban life and wanted something cool & different for our new space. I wanted sharp knives & a sharp pronged, scooped style fork. Flatware Set met all my needs at an affordable price, so I bought 2 sets! Unusual design but is heavy enough to balance nicely in your hand and is a bit longer than many cutlery designs. The teaspoons are delightfully dainty and the soup spoons quite generous. I'm very happy with my cool, new Flatwear!
