like many others that already reviewed this set, our knife blades rusted after the first wash. Upon reviewing the product details, I see the knife blades are not 18/10 stainless steel (unlike the rest of the set)

I bought two five-piece sets and they fit very well into my kitchen and mid-century decor in my great room. They are easy to use and the right weight. I hope to enjoy using them for years to come.

High Quality feel and weight,

They look classic and have a good weight to them. You can tell they’ll last a long time.

The quality and weight of the flatware I'd superb.

Beautiful everyday silverware. A little pricey, we needed 4 sets to have enough

I added these to my registry before reading the reviews. I’m not going to lie, I was really concerned about using these after reading the reviews. As long as you don’t use a highly acidic detergent with lemon, you’ll be fine. Only been using for a few months though.

Beautiful daily silverware. A little pricey but worth it.

I have purchased 10 place settings for my daughter’s new home. The place settings are well balanced have a comfortable weight and ergonomics. Very stylish for a casual lunch or Christmas dinner . I love the fact that as her dinner table grows she can add pieces as they are available and timeless.

After 16 years, our Couture flatware has remained the best. Through housemates, toddlers, and tweens, we don't have one bent tine nor a single stained or dented piece. The shine is still great, even though they get used and run in the dishwasher daily. The shape and weight of these pieces is so great – pleasantly heavy and smooth in the hand, and gentle around the edges when cutting or pressing down hard. They present well when you have a fancy setup, but are the go-to set on a daily basis, too. A hidden bonus is that we can still get replacement pieces after all this time. When I counted recently, we've lost a few. I have no hesitation to order some more. Everything gets spots – so polish them up and the spots come right off. I can't think of one drawback to this set. Extremely worth it.

This silverware was worth the wait. I love the weight of the pieces, the fit in the hand is perfect and comfortable! I will order more!

Have been using the Couture flatware for nearly 20 years. They hold up beautifully and look elegant against any table setting.
