just had a quick look on google and i remembered right.

my parents bought a steinbach set and it's very nice.

probably the same quality as WMF but cheaper because you don't pay for the name.

Good quality - $200-400

Ok quality - $100-200

Anything under is going be rough.

What I look for:

Must be stainless steel
Made from one single piece of metal
Run your fingers around the rim of the spoon - no sharpness. Should be polished smooth.
There has to be some weight in the handle.
Handle of knife should feel instinctive when holdng it in the cuttin position - some move around so you have to grip them.
They should not bend or even flex when you give them a nudge to try. Particularly at the neck or the fork prongs.
Knives should be slightly serrated.
Forks can't be sharp (stick them in your mouth and see).

Picture a customer in the homewares dept.. checking out cutlery sets and putting a fork from each set in their mouths to test sharpness. Security might escort you out of the store!

Polks, i'm in NSW.

So is Robins Kitchen. 70% off today and tomorrow. I don''t know what their cutlery is like.

Apart from that, think about any difficulty in cleaning the cutlery when you look at it. It's a bug.er of a job when there are patterns and grooves.

freddie*rooster · ‎22-12-2013

Thanks chuk, I was thinking along those same lines as you

I have never owned a good set of cutlery, so I have no idea of brands or what to look for, I notice on ebay they vary in price so am unsure of quality for the $$

chuk_77 · ‎22-12-2013

hooray I helped

lurker17260 · ‎22-12-2013

I think more improtant than brands etc is how comfortable it feels in your hand. For that reason that is one thing I would never buy online. I had one set that looked really nice and was quite expensive but it was weighted all wrong and I hated using it. Gave it away when we moved.

I also think you can never have too many serving spoons etc in a good complete set.

I want this for good, I have plenty of every day cutlery. I want it for use with my fancy pants Royal Albert China when I play ladies.

With that I agree. Mine has heavyish round handles. I should watch ebay for spares as a few have lost their screws. I got a new set at DFO that loks the same but is not quite the same quality. Daughter got a set a DFO that she is happy with.
