over&back Hand-Forged 18/8 Flatware Set - Service for 4

These have a "5 star look" but unfortunately get only 1-2 stars for function. Affordable, well made everyday Gold/Champagne flatware that's 18:8 or 18:10 steel was really hard to find, I searched extensively. Sadly, that remains true after we gave this one a shot. I'm all about natural visual variations in finish and even shape for a beautiful hand forged set but had to draw the line at dysfunction. Unfortunately, the knives are so barely serrated that they wouldn't even cut an overcooked string bean (I tried and they failed). The tines of the forks (both sizes) had strangely angled tips that were somewhere between pointy and flat and didn't seem like they would spear well or feel good in the mouth. The knives were the main reason we returned all 3 sets that we ordered and went with a more reliably designed, less unique looking but still cool looking, Mikasa 18:10 set in the end. If you don't care about knives that can cut food, I suspect that you'd have to be ok with irregular patina/finish wearing as part of the "artisanally aging" look over time, but we never got that far. Very sorry to not be able to enjoy this set as its really stunning to look at. Also sorry for the $50 return fee, but dysfunction is a dealbreaker for us and worth the lost $.

Great quality! Quick shipping.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the look of this flatware set from Over&Back. It has a nice weight to it, and feels good in your hand while eating. I was surprised that they are dishwasher safe being that they are hand forged! This set was supposed to be 4 each of Dinner Forks, Salad Forks, Dinner Knives, Dinner Spoons, and Teaspoons. However, I’m sad to say that my set was missing a Salad Fork and I instead received an extra Teaspoon. Super bummer about that. Otherwise, it’s a nice set that I’m sure would last a while.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am in love with the champagne color of this set. It looks so classy. The style is so unique and I absolutely enjoy the fact that the utensils are a large size. They have a nice weight to them and feel quite durable. I’m not really a fan of the hand forged look. I would rather it be sleek. But, that’s just my preference. It’s still a beautiful set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a stunning flatware set. The handcrafted hammered pieces are absolutely beautiful — each one is unique and has it’s own character! The pieces are made out of quality metal and feel really nice in the hand. They seem like they’ll last a really long time. I’m very very happy with this set and considering purchasing another!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This set is beautiful. It is heavy, strong, and feels comfortable in my hands. Cleaning is a breeze and hasn’t turned colors. These can be used for a fancy dinner or casual dinning as well. I love this set!
