HENCKELS J.A. INTERNATIONAL 22520-365 J.A. Flatware Set, 65 Piece, Silver

Comprei um vez uma tesourinha dessa marca e tenho até hoje.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this flatware set for my husband and myself. We previously had a 18/0 flatware set from a large chain store that (very fortunately) has an unlimited return policy - we quickly needed to take advantage of that policy because our "dishwasher safe" 18/0 set rusted after one wash in the dishwasher, despite following package instructions. We picked this JA Henckels Alcae flatware set because of all the good reviews. The flatware set comes packaged with each piece in it's own plastic baggie. I felt confident this would protect each piece during shipping, and speaks to the care the JA Henckels puts into their product. We've inspected all pieces and found no imperfections (unlike our old 18/0 set, which seemed to have machining/finishing issues). After several uses and dishwashings, we are thrilled with our Alcea flatware. We follow the package instructions and don't let old acid food sit on the flatware for hours, and we use a heated dry cycle to ensure that the flatware doesn't rust. We are immensely pleased! The quality of the flatware is great for the price, too. You can VERY clearly see the quality increase from the (walmart) flatware I used during my college days! Personally, I think the flatware is a great weight. They're substantial in the hand, but not so heavy that they fall off the plate. The serving pieces are a great bonus too! (Original review date, 2014.) 2016 edit - still loving this flatware set! After 2 years of daily use, we see some extremely light etchings where the metal has touched other metal, but otherwise this flatware still looks brand new. I would absolutely buy again. 2018 and post-cross country move, we still love these! 2022 - going strong!

La calidad de los materiales de fabricación: excelente, el acabado: perfecto! Son muy bonitos y brillantes. Se podría complementar con cucharas pequeñas.

This is a perfect set of cutlery. Good weight to them with subtle pattern. Would order them again. Oh to have a matching set again!

After the using the same set of cutlery for 30 years, I finally decided it was time for a new set. I was impressed with the reviews for this one and can understand why after it seeing it. J.A. Henckels did a fabulous job with this set. It's stylish without being fancy, solidly made with a brilliant finish. The cutlery is carefully packaged (each piece is individually wrapped in a plastic sleeve) and I went through every piece and did not find one with a single blemish. It has the right amount of heft, just a little on the light side but it doesn't feel too light or 'cheap'. It remains to be seen how well it will hold up to every day use. My old set was made in Korea, Henckels has theirs made in Vietnam. If I can only get half as many years out of this set as I did the old one, I'll be happy. I would strongly advise everyone to carefully read the care instructions with this...there are specific warnings about highly acidic foods and using detergents with chlorides. My only complaint, and it's minor, is that the teaspoons aren't much smaller than the dinner spoons. The photo shows the new Henckels teaspoon (top) with my old teaspoon (bottom). The photos here are Amazon also show the teaspoon being not much smaller than the dinner spoons. Just a minor thing but I can live with it.
