I originally purchased these as a gift but ultimately kept them. Initially, I was disappointed that they are short, which was a mistake on my part for not reading the specs more carefully. I envisioned a longer, more traditional sized handle. That said, I kept them and now use this set at least once per week. I really love them - they are sleek and elegant, they wash well, are easy to store, and versatile. What started off being a mistake turned out to be a favorite kitchen item for me.See full review
