1.0 out of 5 stars Five tea spoons are not of stainless steel claimed on the box, August 1, 2010

This review is from: J.A. Henckels Classic Series Rapture 45-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 8 (Kitchen)

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.
I bought 2 sets!
