Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Heavy enough for everyday use and elegant enough for company, this flatware suits any occasion and then goes into the dishwasher. It's made of durable 18/10 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish. Substantial length (9-inch knives), width, and heft qualify it as European size--the kind of flatware that might be found in an upscale bistro. This Opus pattern features fork and spoon handles that turn up slightly at their ends and knife handles that curve to the right, contributing a contemporary look. The 45 pieces break down into complete table settings for 8 plus a 5-piece "hostess" set of serving pieces. A single setting consists of knife, fork, soupspoon, salad fork, and teaspoon. The hostess set consists of 6-inch sugar spoon, 7-inch butter knife, 8-1/2-inch serving fork, 8-1/4-inch serving spoon, and 8-1/4-inch pierced serving spoon. Properly cared for, this flatware should last a lifetime and beyond. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent Opus, June 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: J.A. Henckels Premier Series Opus 45-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Service for 8 (Kitchen)

Previously, our stainless steel silverware was showing its age and not aging well at all. We decided to try Henckels because we have there steak knives and love them. A few of our relatives have 18/10 Silverware and say they love the luster and shine on them. The one thing I was worned about with buying a new silverware set was the weight and if the handles were comfortable. Well this set comes through on all of these things. The 18/10 is beautiful, so shiny, wash after wash. The handles, although thin are very comfortable and seem to feel as though they conform to your hand. My mother-in-law thought they would be uncomfortable as well, but found out at dinner time that they are so comfortable and just a nice every day set. I highly recommend this silverware.

I spent all day in the kitchen preparing for a dinner party and what do I get the most compliments on? My flatware. Our friends have gone crazy over the look and especially the feel of this great stuff. We could not be happier. We have had no problems with the knives. You won't be disappointed.

I love my set. I notice some have complained about the 2 piece construction on the knives, but mine are one piece (making me wonder if they have improved upon that flaw in the new sets). I love the feel of them in my hand and my whole family prefers them to other sets I have. Guests usually comment on the look and feel and want a set too. After numerous uses and washings, they are still looking like brand new.
