Nice Flatware, My daughter Likes too put a test too flatware. she takes a teaspoon and if she can scoop out the ice cream from the container and if the spoon doesn't bend while she is scooping her a bowl of Ice cream Then we know I made the Right Choice by Purchasing This Flatware. Also The finish is really nice. I can use it with formal dinners and every day. Easy Wash. Stays Looking New.
