Appealing in its shapely simplicity, this flatware set brings contemporary style and sleek, pleasing function to the table. Each piece sports heavy-gauge, 18/10 stainless-steel construction, which includes 18-percent chrome for maximum corrosion resistance and 10-percent nickel for a brilliant, mirror-like finish. Plus, the continental-sized pieces offer a slightly oversized design that suggests both quality and elegance. Crafted with a uniquely balanced handle for comfort, the knives feature forged blades for long-lasting sharpness and precision. Best of all, the collection's smooth, rounded outlines and distinctly European approach lends sophistication to both formal and everyday dining occasions. Dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup, the 45-piece set includes eight each of the following: salad fork, dinner fork, knife, tablespoon, and teaspoon. It also provides one each of the following service pieces: sugar spoon, butter knife, meat fork, serving spoon, and slotted serving spoon.
