Gourmet Settings Strand 20-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 4

Simple, graceful pattern with a distinctively angular knife.Created by Gourmet Settings, Strand flatware has a handsome yet simple design with versatile modern appeal. Crafted from 18/0 stainless steel for luster and tarnish-resistance, the pattern features a flared handle with an angular tip. Subtly energetic lines add distinction, preventing the design from feeling severe. The handle transitions smoothly to an elongated oval working end on the forks and spoons, while the knife sports a smartly angled blade. A gleaming mirror finish overall completes the look.

With 20 utensils in all, this Strand set includes four place settings, each with a salad fork, a dinner fork, a knife, a soupspoon, and a teaspoon. Safe in the dishwasher, the pieces maintain their bright finish without polishing and come with a 50-year warranty. –Emily Bedard

  1. Check closely if you’re adding to an existing set! I purchased two sets of these about a year ago when I got married (Spring 2011), and we’ve absolutely loved this flatware for a year. They’re solid, feel great in the hand, and look great after coming out of the dishwasher (unless we don’t pre-wash them, but that’s an issue with our dishwasher, not the flatware). I particularly like the clean lines of the knife, as well as the fact that it’s not serrated.I purchased an additional set the other day (Spring 2012) to add to our existing pieces, and was very surprised when I opened the box. The knife curves a bit now, rather than being perfectly straight on the back! There are small differences in the other pieces as well, causing them to not nest nicely when stacked. I called Gourmet Settings Customer Service, and the woman I spoke with said that they had a redesign about six months ago. I call shenanigans. If they’re going to redesign it, they shouldn’t have given it the same name! As it is, I won’t be keeping this new set…
