Title: Contemporary Classic w/Clean Lines, Perfectly Weighted
Review: I am SO happy with this order! They're even better than I had imagined and I've been using them less than a week. These are clearly very solid, sturdy and good quality. I love that they're modern/contemporary but not overly so -- the squared end is not too 'sharp' either. The flatware I previously owned had very pointy corners at the base of the portion that you grip. However, these edges are squared yet not sharp. I love the clean simple lines, and am also really in love with the way the neck tapers to where the head of the spoon/fork is... The shape of this tapered section is not captured well in photos, but in real life it has a certain elegance. Also, I love that these have a little more weight toward the bottom (i.e. fork prongs) than I am used to... It feel so nice to hold! They're also finished very well, super smooth, no rough edges. They light up my kitchen drawer now and I'm so happy. I also love the shape of the forks -- not too spiky and sharp looking, but not too bulbous. The same goes for the spoons: they have the perfect round/oval shape/egg, and the perfect depth. Some spoons out there these days are so unattractive and shallow and almost square in shape. Can't stand those. These are all-round perfection in my eyes. I love these and would absolutely order again. (I think this is my first-ever Amazon review. I don't like reviewing things, but am so please with these I wanted everyone to know!)

Title: High End Feel and Looks Great!
Review: It's Mikasa brand. I found the weight to be quite nice; meaning there was sturdiness and heaviness to the utensils. The feel was smooth and didn't "cut into" the fingers.I bought these for my elderly mother-in-law's home because she has downsized a bit and I remembered she had less than 4 place settings worth of everyday eating utensils. That just wasn't going to work for hubby and me with a recently unplanned and indefinite stay in her home. I have become accustomed to the 20+ year old sets of Guy DeGrenne flatware and have tried the cheaper sets. Mikasa has been a brand familiar to me, but I hadn't purchased before. I am truly impressed with this $50ish four place set!

Title: Great Silverware
Review: All over the internet I read how this brand was great with high quality. I have enjoyed having this beautiful silverware. It is sturdy, does not bend (under normal circumstances). I am sure you could put it in a vice and bend it by hammering it. However, it is weighted perfectly. The finish is very shiny and beautiful. I have absolutely no regrets with this purchase.

Title: Nice set
Review: Very nice set! Only one small problem, two of the butter knives have a noticeable bend to them that I can't seem to straighten, but overall a very solid set, comfortable in the hand and easy to clean

Title: A Long Story About Our Purchase of this Mikasa Swirl 20-Piece Flatware Set
Review: For the past twenty-five years, we have been using 18/8 stainless flatware made by the Wallace company. The name of the pattern is âTiaraâ and, in my opinion, it looks as nice today as it did when we bought it.Unfortunately, about 10 years ago, my wife announced that she âwas tired of itâ and that it was time to buy a new set.Frankly, I saw no reason to do this, but, keeping in the spirit of âa Happy Wife Means a Happy Life,â I agreed that we should look for something new.Now, for the most part, we agree on most things we purchase for our house, but we just could not agree on a flatware pattern.The problem is that I prefer satin-finished flatware and she abhors it!As our former set was shiny, I thought that it would be nice to have a satin-finish now.So, for the past ten (10) years, we have been visiting all sorts of stores where stainless flatware is sold but, primarily, we have searched in that âfamousâ store called B B & B (you know, the one which sends out all those 20%-off coupons).FINALLY, couple of weeks ago, we were in B B & B (armed with plenty of those coupons) and we saw this Mikasa Swirl 20-Piece Flatware Set.It wasnât âexactlyâ my wife's choice, nor was is it âexactlyâ mine â but we agreed that, after all this time, a compromise was in order, especially in view of the fact that we both liked this set. She likes "shiny" and I like "satin" and this set has both.Now B B & B does not keep this set in stock so we had to order it. We ordered two sets, a total of service for 8 (we have NEVER had more than 6 people for dinner including us).We thought that that amount would be fine.Later, when we got home from the store, my wife suggested that we check to see, a) if Amazon sells it, and, b) at what price.I did so and saw that Amazon does indeed sell it and I was gratified to see that Amazonâs price was much higher than B B & Bâs price. My wife was happy too.The sets arrived three days after we had placed the order, we packed away the old Wallace set (I insisted that we keep it as there is absolutely nothing wrong with it), and washed the new set in our dishwasher.As expected, all of the pieces emerged in good order. The satin portion was not damaged in any way (something that my wife feared would happen with satin finishes) and the shiny portions were shiny indeed.As we have never experienced any rust on any 18/8 stainless set we have owned in the past, we do not anticipate any forming on this Mikasa 18/10 set (18/8 and 18/10 are virtually identical in quality).But then, after just a few days of ownership, my wife announced that, as we had had service for 16 of the Wallace set, we must have service for 16 of this new set.As I mentioned above, we have never had more than 6 people at our dining-room table, but that argument fell on deaf ears. She DECREED that I must order one more set, thereby giving us service for 12 (that was her âcompromiseâ).Before going out to the store, I decided to check Amazon once more (after all, their prices change all the time).WOW! The price had dropped $30.00 per set! This was well below what we had paid in B B & B.I told my wife this and she said that we should order two more sets of 4-place servings, thereby giving us the service for 16 we had had previously.I did this and, two days later (thank you Amazon Prime!), the sets arrived.Now she is a happy lady indeed!I have to say that we are very pleased with this stainless. It is obviously very well-made and it is heavy, much heavier than our previous Wallace set. The heft is superb. The teaspoons and the tablespoons are larger than any which either of us had ever seen before. The knives are very sharp and cut neatly through anything we have tried so far. The forks are equally superb.I have to tell you that if we hadnât seen it in the store, we probably would have never bought it. You just canât tell from a picture, no matter how detailed, how a set of flatware will look or how it will feel in the hand.So, if you are in the market for a new set of flatware, I suggest that you go to a store which sells Mikasa flatware and see for yourself. Then you can come home and order it from Amazon (though, in the spirit of fairness, it might be nice to buy just one set of 4 from the store and any more sets from Amazon).Personally, I think that you will like this Mikasa Swirl flatware as much as we do.Hereâs a little tidbit: if, forty years ago, you would have told me that I would be buying stainless flatware which was made in Vietnam, I would have told you that you were nuts! But there it is. Thatâs where this flatware is made (our previous Wallace set was made in Korea).Now I am quite certain that I will not be around in twenty-five years (though itâs possible that my wife will be) so I am also quite certain that this is the last set of stainless flatware that I shall ever purchase.But thatâs all right. Both my wife and I are very pleased with this Mikasa Swirl flatware and I know that I shall never âget tiredâ of it. I hope that my wife feels the same way.I can very highly recommend it to you as it has brought âhappinessâ to our house.I thank you for reading this.Lawrence H. BulkP.S. If my wife ever does "get tired" of this set, she can always go back to that Wallace one. I'm NEVER going to buy another flatware set as long as I live! So there!

Title: Nice weight and attractive.
Review: Received this dinnerware last week our everyday dinnerware was probably 30 years old and had lost several pieces or damaged some in disposal.Ordered the 4 place so we could see how we liked it and are very happy with the quality and will order again so we have a 8 piece setting.As some have said the regular forks are large but we like the size.

Review: I bought one set of four just to take a look at how they looked on my table and how they cleaned up in the dishwasher.I love them..in fact I bought 2 more sets of 4, making my complete set of 12. They are a silky stainless steel and really do look lovely.This style also worked for me because when I am setting the table as in a modern look, they really garner the compliments.Sam
