Ginkgo Norse 20 Piece Flatware Set

Excellent quality, just the right weight, not tinny!

This sleek, trim yet amble weight flatware is my second set which I have added to my first set thereby yielding a full set of 8 placesettings. I purchased my first set of 4 placesettings as a trial to see if it would meet my expectation of being easy to hold by elder hands that are riddled with arthritis and, therefore, much less smoothly operative than normal hands. Expectation met! Additionally, my Norse swims through the dishwasher totally unscathed. It is well balanced, wider than the average and not too heavy or too light. Its beauty speaks for itself. Fabulous stuff across the generations of your household!

I purchased this flatware to accomodate senior arthritic hands. The generous width of the utensils is perfect for anyone wishing for or requiring flatware easier to hold on to.Yet,this set neither looks nor performs like diner/cafe quality flatware.It is elegantly streamlined thereby lending itself well to any table decor. And, it is,likewise,perfectly balanced to stay in less agile hands.The corners of the handles, however, are a bit sharper than they should be. They can easily be rounded off a bit more yet still retain their decidely squared off geometric look.I will buy additional sets for my stated, intended purpose.

I purchased this flatware to replace 10 year old flatware that was badly scratched from usage. The design is great, perfectly square and the satin finish doesn't seem to scratch. However, it does seem to develop rust spots easily.
