J.A. Henckels 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

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.

I got it in the satin finish years ago at half the current price from *Massdrop (now known as Drop). I've been thoroughly enamoured by it and searched high and low to locate it, but could only find it here after the number of years that had passed. Due to the high price, I've been monitoring it for months without sealing the deal, yet no other comparable sets have surfaced during all this time. Thus, I have finally relented and bit the bullet when it came back again

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