I bought this set from Bed bath and Beyond in Oklahoma City. The box on top says the composition to be 18/8 stainless steel. That means that at least spoon and forks should have nearly the following composition:
iron - 74%
Chromium - 18%
Nickel - 8%
When this composition is exact then this grade of steel is non-magnetic, meaning that it will not be attracted by a magnet. I did this test on all spoons and forks in this set. The five teaspoons in this set failed the test. (meaning that they had less than 8% Nickel). So how does that affect you? Those five teaspoons will develop some rust in some form some time because stainless steel with less than 8% Nickel is not rust proof. J. A. Henckel is making a fool out of all of you. Buy it if you like to be treated that way.

This flatware pattern, Rapture, appeals to men and women alike. It fits with any decor and looks beautiful. The knives and forks are large, which is what I like and they add a touch of class to everyday dining.

I love it! Not very heavy though, so if you prefer heavy utensils, this set won't make you happy.
The knife is longer than you might presume from the picture, but I actually like it very much.
Very shiny and smooth. The picture doesn't do the justice.

light not to heavy
I already had a set of these but wanted another. I love them. All the other sets I looked at were real heavy & bulky. They also come out of the dish washer perfect. Read more

Too thin and flimsy
This set is made in Vietnam (not Germany) by Henkels. It looks very nice but it just feels light and cheap. The teaspoons bend which is just a no-no for quality flatware.

Classic series
This replaced first choice that sent back. This is much better quality for the price. The design is not typical and can be used for both casual or semi-formal dinning. Read more
