ZWILLING HENCKELS J.A. Bellasera 45-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 8

I love the polish and shine of this set! It feels solid! I love how the knives fit on the plate and rest blade vertical! :)

Buena

I ordered this product and received it a day before it was scheduled to arrive, which was exciting!! But about the actual product... The set includes 8 teaspoons, 8 regular spoons, 8 salad forks, 8 regular forks, 8 knives, 1 serving spoon, 1 draining serving spoon, 1 butter knife, 1 clam-shaped spoon, and 1 large serving fork. First of all, let me tell you how downright attractive this set is. The shine is amazing and the design is quite simple. Each utensil came packaged in its own plastic bag (which is recyclable plastic #4), and utensils of a set were banded together. Now, I have hyperhidrosis which causes my hands to sweat A LOT. As I was removing the flatware, I tried not to touch it too much as I figured it would turn out smudged from my hands. Well, the result (even with plenty of handling) was not a single fingerprint!! Using the set is great. It has a very nice weight and the pieces are comfortable to handle. In addition, the knives lay "blade" up (though the blades are not sharp to the touch, so no fear of accidents!), which is a very nifty design to keep mess off the table. Overall, this is my first set of silverware and though my parents have had numerous high quality flatware sets over the years, I feel this set is completely on par with higher-end flatware. Lastly, true 18/10 flatware can be difficult to find online. Having had 18/0 standing in until I received this set, I can now speak for the world of difference that was made yesterday when this package showed up on my doorstep. No more rust! :) I would highly recommend this product.

Mais les couteaux sont particulièrement sujets à être échappés à terre à cause de leur concept. Ça fait rire les invités.

Here's what I've noticed about this flatware: Sturdiness: This was my primary concern, and I'm happy. This flatware is very sturdy; however, if you like mashing things with your fork, there is a little give. Otherwise, the spoons work great in ice cream and are generally super sturdy. Edges: I like to cut things with the edge of my fork. When I first felt the edges of the flatware, I didn't expect it to cut well -- it's kind of rounded and blunted. Surprisingly, it cuts really well. The spoons too. No issues here. Finish: I didn't really care a lot about the finish, but this flatware changed my mind. This finish is amazing! It's so polished, things have a hard time sticking to it. Plus it feels insanely smooth. Looking at other reviews, it looks like the finish lasts too. 10/10 on the finish. Feel: Other than the amazing finish, this flatware feels good in your hand. It's not quite as hefty as I'd have liked, but it definitely has a substance to it. They feel nice in the hand and work well ergonomically. Shape: The spoons are a really nice shape -- your lip just comfortably conforms to them -- not too deep or broad. The forks have a nice curve to them -- not too flat, not too curvy. I don't like to use the long forks, but they're not overly long from the little bit I played with them. Tines are a nice distance apart.
