Bellasera 45-Piece Flatware Set

I’ll keep it straight to the point. I purchased these for my Fiancé. We both were raised to hold silverware in European manner. Regardless of what the other reviews say the knives are probably the most comfortable knives I’ve held in a long time, even if they’re quirky to use and balance isn’t perfect. On the other hand the forks lack some weight and if you hold forks upside down, the square butt of the fork is very sharp on the palm of the hand. Again this is dependent on how the forks are held, but my fiancé said she will never like using these forks.

Solid, well made, pieces are well balanced. These are the first flatware I haven't bent in basic use. The design is simple, elegant and nice in the hand. For me, the teaspoon is just a bit short. Finish is still bright years after purchase - returned to replace pieces lost to small hands and school / garbage / carelessness. We have had for years and never regretted. No signs of rust or discoloration at any time. Knife design is superior.
