Review on Oneida 2865020B 20 Piece Stainless Flatware by Melvin Man

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A worthy analogue of the previous generation Flight; slightly thinner end

I bought a 20 piece set to add extra pieces to the set originally bought in 2005. You'll likely notice that the shape of the gaps between the tines of the forks is slightly different (think of the point where your fingers meet your palm). As mentioned in other reviews, the metal is noticeably thinner than the previous version, particularly on the ends of the forks and spoons. The weight isn't noticeably lighter, and your guests probably won't use a micrometer to measure the thickness of the metal. The end seems sharper though - I think the thinner metal didn't allow them to round the edge. The knife handle is the same thickness as the old version near the blade (5/16"), but tapers to 3/16" at the butt. The set should still work and hold up well.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
