We bought this stainless flatware in a pinch one evening. Much to my surprise its not the temporary set I thought it would be, its a keeper. For me the true test of silverware is how much will the spoon will bend when I try to pry a bit of thoroughly frozen ice cream out of the carton - and this doesn't. We've had it for about 5 years now, and not a bent spoon in the bunch.
It's amasingly strong, and the finish is as bright today as the night we bought it, and for the prise you just can't go wrong!
