Review on Stylish Dragonfly 18/10 Stainless Steel Flatware Set - 5 Piece Place Setting By Fortessa by John Mahfood

When I got married, having no experience picking out silverware I chose my set based on appearance only. Lessons learned over the years brought us to a new set. My biggest issues with the old set were that they had an oversized handle, so they were very bulky both for storage in our drawer and for washing in the dishwasher. In addition, the handle made them so heavy and unbalanced that unless there was significant food on the plate or in the bowl, it would tip right back and fall off/out. The larger dinner sizes of the fork and spoon were too big for my liking as well, so we had half the usability of the whole set. So I set out to find a slimmer, sleeker, smaller set. And WOW did I find it! This set is absolutely beautiful. As others have noted, the handles are very thin and the design of the pieces is very slender, so if you are looking for a heftier set that you can really get a hearty forkful of food at a time this is probably not the set for you.UPDATE 6/8: We have had rusting issues with some pieces, mainly the knifes. I suggest washing these by hand when possible, especially the knifes.
