Yes but cutlery that actually feels good in the hand, has proper sizing (fork length, spoon capacity) and also proper weight balancing is much harder to find. Personally I really like Oneida, I found a set with spoons that IMO have the perfect balance and capacity.

By "good" I mean something I will like using every day, the price doesn't really matter. A tool that just feels bad to use is not a good tool, especially if it's something I'll use multiple times every day.

I moved house a couple of years ago, and decided to finally get matching cutlery for six people.

In the past I had enough for myself and two friends, after that it was all mismatched knives, forks and spoons which were randomly acquired over the years - Although I had a couple of butter-knives I'd had since I moved out of my parents home 30 years ago!

Having matching cutlery, that felt good in the hands, makes a surprising difference to mealtimes. I didn't even spend more than €100, though I took a long time handling and testing different designs before I found one that I liked.

This should be true but is definitely not. I’ve had cheap metal cutlery that was flimsy and bendable, multiple sets that literally rusted, and I don’t want to know what kind of metals were leaching from it.

Now I buy stainless from liberty tabletop, literally the last remaining stainless steel tableware manufacturer in existence in the us. It’s not that expensive and much better quality.
