I searched a long time for just the right flatware.  I admired this flatware set for many months and did not see any that I liked the look of better so I finally ordered the set.  They are not what we expected. Other reviews said these were a nice weight  and I wanted a hefty feel.  But The size of each spoon fork and knife is HUGE compared to other sets. These are twice the size of our old set. Not what we expected so I am returning. And I am annoyed that I have to pay almost $8.00 to return this I rarely return items, but returns on my Amazon purchases are free shipping)
