Yamazaki Hafnia 43-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 8

Perfect ! Gorgeous, Elegant, worth the price !

After a long search for a durable, elegant and A+ quality product we bought a Hafnia set and we are more than pleased: very impressed. Sturdy but simply gorgeous, very comfortable to handle. The shine is absolutely stunning even that is brushed stainless. Perfect ! But the description of the aditional pieces as a Serving Set is wrong: they are not a TABLESPOON and a COLD MEAT FORK, the extra pieces are a LARGE SERVE SPOON and LARGE SERVE FORK (same as two of the pieces of the Entertainment Set). Be aware when you get this set it comes with this two wonderful LARGE SERVE SPOON AND FORK, perfect for salads. I have to return the Entertainment Set i bought together with the 42 piece Set because the description of the 42pcs set was wrong about the extra pieces. But i highly recommend Yamazaki Hafnia 42 piece set, that also comes with the wood box, flawless. About the price: Amazon.com have the best deal. Thank you !

Tired of the cheap stuff wearing out?

I am ashamed to say I have gone through numerous flatware sets in my life. Okay, okay, so I don’t take the greatest care of them. Perhaps they sit in the sink overnight when I should have washed them. I am guilty. Guilty! … Consequently I tend to have problems with my flatware “pitting” — getting little spots of rust on them. Eventually I end up throwing away the set and getting a new set, which invariably gives me the same problem.

The blame for this doesn’t rest *entirely* on my shoulders, though. They don’t make flatware like they used to, for the most part. These days it’s all cheap stuff, made in China, with as little quality as can be gotten away with. Modern Made-in-China flatware just doesn’t last for 30 years like your grandparent’s set did, no matter what you do.

So I decided to actually do some research and get a “real” set. So it turns out that most of the cheap stuff is “18/0″ — 18% chromium for strength and 0% nickel. If a set doesn’t…

Stylish and sturdy

I’ve had Hafnia for over ten years now, and it is still a joy to use. It looks as good as when it was new.
