Classic elegance and simple style combine in this 65-piece Crescendo II stainless flatware set, equally suitable for formal occasions and the everyday table. Impress guests with this service for 12 at a buffet when entertaining or set at a family dinner of any size with the 5-piece place settings. The stately design features carved ridges along the length of the handles, banded at the neck for a finished touch. The matching hostess set of six pieces meets a range of serving needs with style. Crafted from 18/0 stainless steel for corrosion-resistance and lasting luster, the dishwasher-safe set never requires polishing.

The twelve five-piece place settings include a dinner knife and fork, salad fork, soup spoon, and teaspoon. The hostess set includes two serving spoons (one pierced), a cold meat fork, butter spreader, and lovely shell-shaped sugar spoon. A handsome wooden storage caddy provides partitions to separate pieces and features a framed edge for an attractive display. The larger Continental sizing offers a balanced heft that feels comfortable in the hand. This favorite pattern from the Legacy collection of Reed & Barton, America's premiere silversmiths since 1824, carries a 25-year warranty. --Roberta Cruger

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for everyday AND company!, July 27, 2005

This review is from: Reed & Barton Crescendo II 18/0 Stainless-Steel 65-Piece Flatware Set with Storage Caddy, Service for 12 (Kitchen)

If you like heft and size in your silverware, this is the set for you! Besides the very bright and polished finish, this continental-sized flatware feels great in your hand and is perfect whether you're serving on your best china or your everyday dinnerware. And one of the very best parts? It comes with 12 extra teaspoons. If you're like me, sometimes those pesky spoons slip into the disposal and get chewed up and ragged. No problem with this set, you have 12 opportunities to replace the one you lost! The set also comes packaged in a wooden tray that slips into your kitchen drawer and can be used as a silverware holder for your buffets and potlucks.

I looked everywhere, both on line and in the brick-and mortars for a set I liked. My biggest concern was whether the set in the picture would look and feel as good in hand. I was more than pleased. This is the best, both in value and quality.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great set with a big flaw, September 7, 2006

This review is from: Reed & Barton Crescendo II 18/0 Stainless-Steel 65-Piece Flatware Set with Storage Caddy, Service for 12 (Kitchen)

This is sturdy, strong, quality flatware with a serious flaw: rust keeps breaking through the knives on the serrated edge! I even diligently followed the directions with the set not to soak the knives and to avoid letting certain foods set on them before washing (which I have never had to do with flatware). But I'm still getting rusty spots on the cutting edge. What a shame.

The set is "just OK." Not as heavy as I'd expected and I've also noticed (per another reviewer)some rust on the knives. Better to look at what you're buying in person first before ordering online (she said to herself).
