Martha Stewart Everyday Steffi burg 16-Piece Warm Grey Stainless Steel Flatware Set

Pleasantly surprised by this set of plastic handled, stainless, table ware. I think that the continuation of the metal handle running through the entire length of the plastic handle, and rivets make a noticeable difference. (This is a desirable feature called “full tang” with my kitchen knives.) The flat surface and smoothly rounded edges of the handles, fit comfortably, and operate easily in the hand. Each piece is lighter weight that my “better” quality stainless, but adequate for casual meals. With normal table use, the fork tines would not bend easily, but may yield under the pressure of prying lids and such. The forks are nicely full size; but do have somewhat scratchy edges on the tips of the tines. The exaggerated look of the oval shape of each spoon is rather stylish. The metal edges of the spoons are not sharp, but not as smoothed off as my “better” set. The knife blade is quite impressive; having a subtle serrated edge that easily cut thru steak; but also spread jelly without tearing the bread-it's sharp without being too sharp! Pieces showed no ill effect from being run (twice so far) through the dishwasher. Well matched for casual use, outdoor, dorm, starter set.

I love this Martha Stewart Flatware set. The design of the shape of the spoons are especially delightful. The handles are covered with retro mint colored plastic or Bakelite. This set includes four butter knives, four large forks, four large tablespoons and four teaspoons. The spoons have a nice curve to them and feel nice in the mouth. I am so pleased with this set of flatware. When I reach in the silverware drawer, I find myself searching for the Martha Stewart flatware.
