stainless flatware sets

A standard 20-piece stainless flatware set usually includes four each of dinner forks, dinner knives, dinner spoons, salad forks and teaspoons.

Most of the sets shown provide service for four people (4-place settings). Larger collections—such as a 45-piece set—typically provide service for eight.

Many sets are made from 18/0 stainless steel. Handles are most often stainless steel, though some designs use ABS (plastic) handles paired with stainless-steel heads.

Larger collections (for example 45-piece sets) commonly include serving utensils such as serving forks, serving spoons, slotted spoons, butter knives and sugar spoons in addition to the dinner pieces.

Some descriptions note traditional riveted handles and full-tang construction. Reviewers often praise a solid, well-balanced weight and a comfortable feel.
