Flatware Set

I grew up adjacent to the David Mellor factory without the budget to justify purchasing most of their products. I am thus fussy about my flatware. I ordered these primarily for the matte black finish.

The look is unique, the spoon and fork handles are well fashioned and the weight is pleasant. The tines on the forks are satisfyingly pointy without being an immediate safety hazard. So far they've washed well on the top cutlery tray of a new Bosch dishwasher.

Two things to be aware of that meant this wasn't a full five stars from me:

1. The knives are slightly chunky in size and weight relative to both sizes of fork and spoon.

2. The spoons are very large, too large for me to comfortably eat with. Although I don't mind eating breakfast with a teaspoon, others might.
