Teaspoons - Regency Series [Set of 12]

Several were rusty after the first run through the dishwasher.

I gave these 5 stars but that may not be fair. I haven't tested the sturdiness or durability. I haven't attempted to bend them or had the time to subject them to heavy use but for basic standard eating they seem to be perfectly adequate.I will say they seem to be a little more lightweight than I prefer but there is no way to test the weight looking at a picture. They are a nice length and generally comfortable to eat with. I think they are a fair quality for the price and I wouldn't hesitate ordering them again.

I bought the "Update International RE-105 18/10 Stainless Steel Regency Series Dinner Fork" about three and a half years ago, and back then, the forks were about half an inch longer (see photo). Maybe they sent a salad fork by mistake? I ordered the same thing... same brand, model number, series, and Dinner Fork, and got a shorter fork. What the fork!? The shorter one is about 7.25". Perfectly fine, just not what I expected based on what I received before.Like other reviewers have said, it's labeled 18/8 steel too, although if you do the research you'll find 18/10 and 18/8 are basically identical, it's more of a marketing thing.All that said, these never rusted for me in ~3.5 years. Note the drying part seems important: I use a dish washer and do the heat dry. I think some people leave water on their forks after washing and that's what causes the rust over time. I never had a tine break. They're durable and sturdy.

I was not expecting the knife quality and finish to be this good. They are heavy and the finish is excellent. The tips are serrated and I can definitely tell I have a knife in my hand. They are heavy but stainless steel tends to be that way.For the money, I think this is a good choice. I ran them through the dishwasher twice and there did not appear to be any discrepancies. I don't know why more of these have not been sold. I took a chance on one review and these seem to be as good if not better than higher priced flatware knives. I like the serrated tips which I did not expect. Description is one thing and what actually arrives is another. I see these knives lasting a very long time.Heavy and nothing flimsy here.

I like that it does not say CHINA on the back of these (I just don't like reading stuff on products). Writing on these is tiny and not a problem for me :) One thing to mention about these all around decent spoons is that they are the shortest spoons you can buy- great for kids and ladies but not that great for dudes who like bigger cups. Still all around usable. Had I paid attantion I'd buy spoons that are 1/4" or 1/2 inch longer.

Love these! We use them in place of 'Dinner' forks, (which are large and heavy), but, make no mistake, these 'Salad' forks are substantial with a good medium Heft, (unlike cheap Flatware that feels like you're holding a feather in your hand). I have other 'Salad' forks but these have a Wider Bowl and Sharper Tines, (which really poke thru and grab your food... even lettuce). I've put them thru the Dishwasher a zillion times and they're just as Bright and Shiny as the day I received them. For us, 'Salad Forks' are the way to go and I HIGHLY recommend these RE-106 'Salad Forks' from Update International.

I am not 100% sure I would refer to these as dinner forks because they are a bit smaller than what I would consider a dinner fork, but then again, they are a bit bigger than what I would consider a salad fork, so I guess it evens out. I really purchased them because my family seems to have a nasty habit of throwing my forks away and thought if they throw these away, it would be no big deal...but I like them and now I would be upset if I find them missing. They are a good weight and are pretty nice looking. Well worth the money.

These are perfect! They're durable, work in the dishwasher (no issues), do not bend easily, feel like they'll last (good weight, and don't feel cheap), and look nice as well. I have no complaints. I'm actually considering purchasing more. I highly recommend this product.10 MONTHS UPDATEThese forks still work great. They've held up, don't bend easily (I've stored them in bags and been rough with them from time to time), easy to clean (no issues with hand wash or dishwasher), and hold up over time (no rust or wear so far). I love their large size, and their simple design. I'm ordering more of these and highly recommend these forks to others.

I ordered these spoons because I keep running out of clean ones. They are just fine - perfect length, perfect bowl that holds 1 tsp (I measured). Comfortable for eating from directly or stirring coffee. I'm very happy with these. Never notice any spots after washing and I don't dry dishes with a towel. It's air dry all the way. They arrived quickly.

I ordered these because my husband kept losing the spoons that I put in his lunch. These match my pattern almost exactly and they are nice quality. I'm very happy.

These spoons are larger than the avg soup spoon. Longer too. They are quite hefty; solid weight.These are great for my kitchen crew to use as prep spoonsand tasting apoons(which is what I bought them for), but might be a tad big for a dinner table unless it's a medieval themed dinner.

These things are HUGE. Far larger than what comes in a normal cutlery set. It's like eating cereal with a serving ladle. If you're looking to replace some lost spoons in your drawer, as I was, these are NOT the answer.Good quality. Nice and heavy. Very smooth. Just far too large...

Excellent!!!! Love these spoons!
