20 Piece Cutlery Set with Fluted Handles, Mirror Polished Service for 4

A 20-piece cutlery set for four people, in mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel, with finely fluted handles that open out into a smooth oval end edged with a raised chevron border. Every place gets five matching pieces, dessert fork included, and the whole set goes in the dishwasher.

No odd forks left over from three different sets. No teaspoon pressed into service when the cake comes out. Four places. Five pieces each. One pattern.

Five pieces at every place, dessert fork included

Each of the four places gets a dinner knife, a dinner fork, a dinner spoon, a teaspoon and a small three-tined dessert fork. That fifth piece is the one plenty of four-piece sets leave out, and you miss it the moment a tart or a cake arrives and somebody reaches for a teaspoon instead.

The dinner knife has a finely serrated edge for chicken, steak and roast meat, and the dinner fork has four long tines. Four full settings suit a couple who have friends over, or a family of four who want the everyday table to look as good as the one they lay for guests.

Fluted handles that finish in a chevron border

Fine lengthwise flutes run down each handle from a small ring collar just below the head, so the steel catches the light in narrow bright and dark lines rather than one flat sheet. Toward the end the flutes stop, and the handle widens into a smooth polished oval framed by a raised border of small chevrons. The knife adds a ringed collar where the blade meets the handle. Small details, and they show.

The detail sits on the handles and nowhere else, so the bowls, tines and blade stay plain and bright. It looks classic without tipping into fussy, and it sits as comfortably beside white china and a linen cloth as it does beside everyday stoneware.

Weight you notice the moment you pick it up

Light cutlery slides off the side of a plate and feels thin between your fingers. Not this set. The dinner knife weighs 5 ounces and the dinner spoon more than 3, so each piece sits steady in the hand and stays where you rest it.

The steel is 304 grade, also called 18/10, which means 18 percent chromium and 10 percent nickel. That is the grade that takes a true mirror polish and resists tarnishing, so the set goes from the table into the dishwasher and comes back out looking the way it went in.
