Wallace Continental Bead Stainless-Steel 65-Piece Boxed Flatware Set, Service

<h2>Product Description</h2>


 

        Review
 
  The understated patterning of the Wallace Continental Bead flatware has the ageless elegance of a strand of pearls. As a result, it is highly versatile, looking equally poised with a set of simple dinnerware as with fine china. Each piece tapers narrowly at the neck and broadens generously at the rounded end. The beaded edgework is fine and precise and slightly inset for subtle contrast with the smooth central surface. Crafted from 18/10 stainless steel with continental sizing, the line combines generous proportions with a pleasant weightiness in the hand. They have a gleaming finish, are dishwasher-safe, and never need polishing. <p> With 65 pieces total, this set is perfect for frequent entertainers and large families. It includes 12 place settings, each with a 9-3/4 knife, an 8-3/8 dinner fork, a 7-3/8-inch salad fork, a 7-1/2-inch soup spoon, and a 6-1/4-inch teaspoon. The 5-piece hostess set adds a tablespoon, a pierced tablespoon, a cold meat fork, a butter knife, and a sugar spoon. All the pieces carry Wallace&#146;s 25-year warranty. --Emily Bedard <p> <b>What&#146;s in the Box</b> 12 place settings, 5 serving pieces. Each place setting consists of: dinner fork; salad fork; soup spoon; knife; teaspoon.

I have purchased four sets of this Continental Bead Stainless set.  I have given sets to my children as wedding gifts, none better.  Good quality stainless.  The first I bought, from a warehouse store 15 years ago, was branded as by Cuisinart.  I looked long years before I found the same set by Wallace, which had made the Cuisinart set.  Reviews which take objection to the heavy weight and larger size of each piece are being unfair to the rating system and this set.  The term Continental means oversized.  You got exactly what you ordered.  These are wonderfully full sized, and a good heavy weight, which I have not found anywhere else.  They are thick, not thin and light.  The salad fork is the same long tined pattern as the hefty dinner fork, not wide tined like other salad forks, and is preferred by my daughter for use as her dinner fork.  The soup spoon holds soup in a large bowl.  wallacesilversmiths  shows this 65 piece set with a 25 year manufacturer's warranty, 40/18 stainless, and dishwasher safe.  They show their 20 piece and 78 piece sets as "quality 40/0 stainless".  Finally, any stainless knife will pit from electrolysis if left in a stainless sink under water touching another non-stainless knife, pot, or other inferior flatwear.  The softer alloy in stainess steel is pulled out of the steel, and the steel rusts in the pit because it is no longer the stainless alloy.  Newer dishwashers have grids to keep flatware from touching for that reason.  The whole surface never rusts, only a smear around the pitted point of contact.  Never mix metals under water.  Ask any outboard motor owner.  Buy this set.  Thank me later.
