Stainless Steel Silverware Set

The obvious elephants in the room: the handles, the knife, and the spoons. All three elements I just named are what really sets these apart from other flatware. I will go over each of them. The handles: VERY elegant looking, but are they comfortable? Yes, but not exceptionally. I don't have any trouble holding these, but I do wish the handles were thicker, and maybe with a slight bend. Also, they transfer heat rather easily...putting a spoon in a large glass (I have 16 ounce mugs) of hot tea makes the handle heat up. Give it about five minutes, and it's hot! Hot enough to be uncomfortable, though not actually dangerous. The design doesn't allow the heat to dissipate as fast as a flatter handle would. I wouldn't make the handles flatter if I was redesigning these, though...the handles just look too cool. I wish they were a bit thicker, but that would also make the utensils heavier, so they aren't bad even if they aren't super-comfortable. The handles are as stylish as you could ask for, and the grip is "decent but not great." The knives: like the handles, very elegant looking, very cool design. But how do they work? Excellent, in fact. I really like the blade design...I've used them for spreading butter and for cutting a steak. They work well for both. The aforementioned "decent but not great" grip on the handles does keep them from being the best knives possible, but the blade design works really well...well enough that these can in fact be used as steak knives. I really like the knife blades. The spoons: extremely modern in appearance, circular rather than oval or oblong, and fairly deep. Once again, they look cool, but how functional are they? Well, I've used them for soups, sauces, shoveling beans...and I think it's an excellent design. It actually makes me wonder about why we don't see more circular spoons. I suppose oblong designs increase the amount of food a spoon can hold without requiring your mouth to be wider? Well, these spoons really accomplish that with their depth. I find them quite comfortable, and since you aren't trying to cut anything, the handle's "not great" status is not at all a problem with the spoons. Other stuff: the metal and coating are very high quality. I eat gallons (not an exaggeration) of extremely hot hot sauce...one of the reasons I replaced my other silverware is because the hot sauce I make is so hot that it was corroding my silverware. The set of these that I purchased was the gold plated version...gold is one of the least reactive elements, and I figured that as long as the plating wasn't thin or poorly applied, the gold would protect the metal from the acid in my hot sauce. I was correct...I have seen no damage whatsoever to these utensils after using them for this purpose many times (I've been using the same set over and over again to be sure). Also, I despise washing dishes, so I've been putting them in my dishwasher. Again, no sign of damage. recap/parting thoughts: - These are by far the highest quality flatware sets that I've ever owned. I started with a single box...to make sure I liked them, and after using them for a few days, I ordered six more boxes (14 sets). - They are elegant to the point that everyone that sees them has to comment on their appearance (positively). - They do not react to even the spiciest sauce and hold up well in the dishwasher (Note: 10/18 steel and high-quality, heavy gold plating) - The only downsides are with regards to the handles: the grip is decent, but not great, and they heat up to the point of being uncomfortable if you put them in 16 ounces of very hot liquid (like tea or coffee; won't be a problem with soup unless you serve crazy-hot soup, probably not a problem if you are using 8 ounce mugs). - I would highly recommend this production on the basis of their quality and the elegant design.

My two sets in the shiny gold have arrived! It’s only been two days but I’ve been wanting to contribute to the reviews. I am pleasantly impressed and so happy with this purchase! Everything from the price, the packaging (so thoughtful), the quality (looks and feels lux), the weight (nice and sturdy in your hand) - this cutlery set is just perfect and beautiful for what I’ve been wanting. Really makes me smile every time I use them! Have been reading lots of reviews for similar sets at a slightly lower pp, this one stood out from all the positivity…pay a little extra for quality. Thank you so much!

This Homelux set of silverware are even more beautiful in person! They feel nice and sturdy, and function beautifully. I highly recommend this beautiful stainless steel -silver color- set of silverware. I love them so much that I just bought another two sets! You will love them !!!!!

If, like me, you are tired of the cutlery set you’ve used for four decades and want something aesthetically pleasing for everyday use, this stainless steel silverware set may be right for you as well. It is shiny and streamlined and pleasurable to hold. The one downside is that you need to be more mindful of how you clean it. While it IS dishwasher safe, it will maintain its beauty much longer if you hand-wash it in a non-lemon detergent and never leave it soaking in water, soup, etc. for long periods of time. I am willing to take this extra bit of care, and I am happy to support a small family business with my purchase. Are you?

These are gorgeous! I am so happy with them that I ordered 2 more sets. I have been on the hunt for black flatware, these are more of a charcoal color and not fully matte but they are so stunning I love them. I have returned 3 different sets b/c the quality was not there. Finally! Quality and design! The design is sleek, elegant, and modern. They really look impressive. I thought that they might be too thin when you hold them but they are more substantial than the photograph. They also have some weight to them but they are not heavy. They feel like you are holding quality flatware really! The knife blade was a bit smaller than I expected but fabulous none the less. I really can't say enough good things! My husband is impressed with the fit, feel, and design of these also! You won't regret this purchase.

Divinely elegant are the words that came to me when I held this silverware. It has radically elevated my confidence in the kitchen. I even enjoy my food more! I can’t believe I waited 38 years to buy nice eating utensils for myself but I’m glad I took the chance. Everything from the weight, color (gold), and craftsmanship feels refined. The mirrored finish is resplendent and the gold is shiny and polished. If you’re on the fence about purchasing, I would recommend getting the set. I’ve eaten at several Michelin star restaurants that didn’t have silverware this lovely. Bon appetit!

Just got these about a week ago and just LOVE them so much! Aside from their sleek and luxe look, they’re easy to hold and have a nice weight to them. So much nicer than the alternative expensive brands like Crate and Barrel. I don’t use the dishwasher often, so I have no idea how they hold up in that department. Definitely recommend though! Edit: one year in and I’ve worked hard to hand wash as often as possible but the black has stripped in most of them and rusting on some. Overall have enjoyed them but know they won’t last much longer.

Was not expecting this great quality but me and my husband actually like them and will be purchasing another set! As of current we had yet to put in the dishwasher but as most mentioned it's probably better to hand wash. (Though will see if it will survive in the dishwasher anyway just to check!) Can't wait to get a good use of them. 😊

Perfekt

This is day one out of the box. Fingers crossed it looks this nice for a while. Nervous to put them in the dishwasher…

These are truly amazing! you won't regret it. I have now boughten two sets.

Great quality and look super elegant!
