Wallace Continental Hammered 65-Piece Flatware Set

We received our order of this flatware - Wallace Continental Hammered 65 piece set - and just started using them. The flatware is nice, especially for a set of 65 that cost less than $2 a piece! It has a decent weight (not as heavy as I would have preferred but fine) and with only a few uses so far, they seem to be holding up in the dishwasher (no spots, rust etc). Weirdly as we were unwrapping each piece, all of a sudden there was one Oneida dinner fork! Wrapped the same way as the rest, but a completely different piece and pattern. (see picture posted). I'm not returning the set because for one, I tossed the box, but second, I doubt I'll ever have 12 people over at once. But I felt I should share this weird experience with any would be purchasers, just in case.

Be aware that the knife handle is fairly flat, and it is not hollow. The picture is a little bit misleading.This is also a true continental-sized set. If you are used to older American flatware, the forks and spoons will seem very large.The set was packed well, and none of the pieces are damaged. The pieces have a nice weight, and are well-made. The hammered finish will look good for years, because scratches and patina accentuate its character. The backs of the pieces also have the hammered texture. The branding is not obnoxious.Overall, considering the quality of the pieces, the 18/10 steel, and the price, I consider these to be a very good deal.

Arrived today. Very nice! Ordered to replace an everyday flatware set missing a few pieces due to loss or damage. I was concerned that the pieces might be too bulky from reading the descriptions by others. Although the scale is somewhat oversized, it is not cumbersome. The pieces feel balanced in the hand - not too heavy but substantial enough to be durable. Excellent value for a 65-piece set of flatware. Note: Stamped "Wallace 18/10 Vietnam"

Great silverware set. The pieces have some weight to them which I look for in a set. The hammered look is really nice. They are 18/10, don’t be fooled by the 18/0 sets, they will look horrible after time. 18/10 will last without the tarnish. Looks great at the table. I just wish I was able to buy more teaspoons.

I searched the internet long and hard to find a restaurant quality set of flatware that will not bend or rust at a good price. This was the best deal out there. Very happy with the quality of this flatware :-) I highly recommend this product, it's seriously heavy duty!!!
