Hampton Forge Poise Casual 20Pc, 3.00 LB, Metallic

The Good: -Simple but elegant design -Service for four -Each set consist of salad fork, dinner fork, dinner knife, dinner spoon and teaspoons -Heavy duty -Easy to clean The Bad: -None The Bottom Line: This Hampton Forge utensil set is simple in design but very well made. They feel very sturdy yet look stylish too. It is a service set for 4 and would be fine for a small family. They are easy to clean in the dishwasher. Overall, I would recommend this utensil set for its craftsmanship and simplicity.

We liked the design and ordered two sets. Happy to receive them in a timely manner only to be disappointed to see that they looked nothing like the photos in the listing.

I’m a bit conflicted on this. On the initial looks, I’m happy with this. Simple, slightly elegant and everyday type of silverware. As I inspect further, I’m just so-so with it. First, the weight. I like heavyweight silverware. I bought some inexpensive ones from the (W) big box store years ago and they look great, modern and got a great feel with them. These are about the same price but the weight difference is noticeable. Feels like ones I would use at a standard restaurant or diner. The other thing bothers me a little more and that is the smoothness of the set. The top is great. Smooth and comfortable to touch. The back however I’m not happy about. The bottom outside is a ridge. That ridge sort of digs into the skin. It’s not really bad but noticeable. It’s not a smooth back so using it a little while, it’s a little annoying. They advertise it as having rounded tips but that would be for the front and not the back. In my lifetime, I have NEVER seen rusted utensils. Even beyond cheap $0.25 items can (not that I would) be used a lifetime but losing some luster and heavily scratched but never with any rust. So a no or reduced rust description never alters my perception of the item. It’s not terrible - just that I’m not a fan of it. It’s priced ok and good for everyday use but I would not use it for formal settings.

Hampton Forge Poise Casual 20Pc, 3.00 LB, Metallic- really nice set of silverware-extremely shiny with a nice weight to the set. Traditional styling and easy to clean too with few to no spots. Recommend.

This is a solid choice for a casual set of utensils. I felt they were a little less substantial than I would have liked, feeling lighter in the hands and overall grip. This lighter feel might be exactly what others are looking for, but it's the only thing that bumped this item from the five-star category for me. Otherwise, the set is fairly standard and definitely at home in any casual, family dining setting. Simple yet elegant, these seem to hold up well to everyday use.

What a gorgeous set. This is beautiful I have never owned any forks, spoons or knives of this quality the weight and how these utensils feel in your hand isn’t cheap or inexpensive.and the pattern is very pretty and lacey. I bought this set for everyday use and you can definitely use it for that but you also can use it for special occasions. This set would make a wonderful gift for anyone and could be given for a very nice gift for a wedding.

We have used this in a few family get-togethers and it has held up well. No peeling or rusting. And the shine hasnt gone off. It looks pretty classy and easy to use of course. Looks elegant when you put it on the table for occasions.

I chose these because I'm not a fan of super heavy flatware, and I figured the titanium would be more lightweight (it is). They're in no way flimsy, though, so no tradeoff there. The shape is pretty classic, and I like the satiny gunmetal finish - though it's not as light as it appears in the product image.
