Kitchen Aid Cookware: Ginkgo Sea Drift with Hollow Handle 20-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 4 Review

I can't comment on the longevity of this flatware...but seeing it up close I can hardly imagine it ever breaking down unless put in the path of a bulldozer ... maybe. It is very sturdy. For me this is the perfect flatware for everyday use. Yeah, it's certainly nice enough for people who want it for more formal use, but perfect for everyday use. I don't think any abuse could damage the integrity of this flatware. It's the Iron Man of flatware, especially at the price I paid ($70).

Let me try to describe it for informational purposes. It's glossy, shiny...that type of finish...all over and very evenly formed and shaped. The pieces seem to kind of curve around your palm whichever way you hold them because of the curve of the handle...and the heaviness is very noticeable. The dinner knife is not serrated with those rasp-like teeth on its edge like some flatware. It has a sharp (but not too sharp) smooth edge that I really like much better. Yes, it will cut meat but is not sharp like a steak knife. It's not easy to describe. The knife says "korea" on the blade and the other pieces say "Gingko/Helmick" w/ "stainless 18/10" under that and "korea" under that on the bottom of the forks and spoons where the working ends meet the handles-in black...possibly laser applied...small lettering. There is no lettering on the handles...probably because they are so rounded. Very nice application, IMO, but if you don't like it there I have no idea if it wears off or could be taken off. It's small, black and just looks like it's printed there.

I remember as a young kid seeing and hefting flatware like this at semi-expensive restaurants my parents took me to and liking the feel of really heavy forks, spoons, etc. These remind me of those that I really liked at the time.

I don't imagine seeing anything close to this price range w/ the looks and durability apparent in this set (I bought two) of flatware. I am giving the 40 pieces to one of my married kids at Thanksgiving and I believe it will last at least until they are Grandparents...and may even be passed down to their kids. I recommend it highly, particularly if one likes heavyweight flatware that's seamless and solid. This is VERY solid.
