HaWare 48 Pieces Silverware Set with Serving Utensils, Stainless Steel Fancy Flatware Cutlery Set for 8, Traditional Elegant Style Tableware Eating Utensils, Mirror Polished & Dishwasher Safe

I was nervous about the conflicting reviews for this set but decided to take a chance on them. Purchased them a few months ago and have been pretty rough on them. With several children they’ve been put through the dishwasher at least once a week and no special drying by hand or anything like the instructions suggest (let’s be honest, who hand dries their day to day silverware??) and so far they are holding up well. No rust. The knives are sharp but not as bad as many reviews said. They’re brand new so of course they’re going to be sharper than your old butter knives. Just be careful with them and you’ll be fine until they dull down a bit from use. Some said they filed theirs which I was going to do when I saw all the bloody pictures in reviews, but decided against it worried I might take the coating off or something and then make them rust.They are super shiny and reflective so you see every smudge and watermark on them unless you rub them down with a rag (which again, who has time for that?), but a few finger print smudges on the handles don’t really bother me. If you’re OCD it might be too much for you, but if you’re a mom of several kiddos, then you’ve become accustomed to finger smudges all over everything anyway. Some also said they are crazy large, which they are slightly larger than many standard sized sets, but not crazy large. I actually kind of prefer the size.Some also complained about inside edges of the fork prongs being too rough, they are, but what puzzles me is who is licking their fork that much to notice? You basically have to purposely stick your tongue between the prongs to even notice. Using the fork as normal you don’t even notice it. Seemed nit picky to me. I also loved the extras that came with the set, very useful, and love how many sets of each size utensils are in this set. Great value for the money I’d say.Over all, I’d buy these again.

Alright, so let me start off by saying I am not a fancy silverware person. I'm not someone who thinks they need a separate salad fork and dinner fork. I don't even know what half of the little serveware items are. THAT SAID...PROS:+ Absolutely beautiful. The finish is shiny throughout. The image make it look a bit like the handle is matte, but it's not.+ SHARP! Be cautious when opening the knives. They are not kidding around with these. One false move, there goes your finger.+ Inexpensive. Previous sets of silverware I've purchased have been your standard cheap sets from a big box store. These are so much nicer for a very similar price.+ Weighty. They do not feel cheap at all. They have weight to them - in my opinion, they are not too heavy and not too light.CONS:+ Plastic. The amount of plastic these came with is RIDICULOUS. Every. Single. Piece. Was wrapped in plastic. After unboxing, I ended up with what can only be described as a small mountain of plastic. If you hate waste, this is inevitably going to bother you. If you hate the environment, get ready to party.+ Sizing. As I stated before, I am a fine dining novice. Maybe this is normal, but it really seemed like the soup spoon was abnormally large compared to the dinner spoon, and that the salad fork was much smaller than the dinner fork... to the point where I'm not even sure I'd use the salad forks. Is this a deal breaker? Not for me.Banana for scale in photo. They have been through one wash cycle in the dishwasher without noticeable wear. Please keep in mind, I am using a dishwasher with a utensil drawer which is likely to be a little more protective during wash.

I love it! Good weight and it looks so nice. Very shiny! Washes nicely in the dishwasher. The handles are a little wide at the bottom so if your basket has smaller slots it might not fit, it only fits in the back slots of mine. Planning to order another set. The serving untensils are fantastic, everything you need and ones you didn’t know you needed! The only bad thing about it is the amount of plastic, every piece is in a plastic bag. I know they’re trying to protect it but the same thing could be accomplished with tissue paper.

Nice looking silverware. Looks like an expensive set. Happy with the quality and price.

Excellent quality for the price. Better than much more expensive sets.

This is a decent set for the price, in terms of the quality and number of pieces. They are larger in size compared to other sets I have owned, which took a bit of time to get used to.As example, the tablespoons almost compare in size to some of the smaller serving spoons I own. The teaspoons are somewhere in between the expected size of a normal teaspoon and tablespoon. I do really love the knives, sturdy and sharp. They easily cut through steak. The pieces are comfortable to hold, even with small hands.So far, we have been using the set daily over a few months, and no damage or rust have been noticed from regular dishwasher use on them. White spots may appear, which easily rub off.If you want larger pieces, I would recommend this set. If you prefer normal-sized utensils, this might not be the set for you.

A good set of silverware for the price 👌.

Love these! I'd bought a set of flatware at T*rget years ago that I loved because they were simple yet elegant. Evidently T*rget has discontinued that pattern but thank goodness for Amazon, because these are even better! I liked them so much I bought another set a short time later. A+!
