Mikasa Harmony 65-Piece Flatware Set for 12, 18/10 Stainless Steel Silverware with Forks, Knives, Spoons, and Serving Utensils, Elegant Design

This is a really nice flatware set. I didn't know much about flatware prior to purchasing this set. But I did enough research beforehand to know my criteria: - Must be 18/10 stainless steel. 18% chromium is pretty standard. The "10" is important as that's the nickel percentage contained in the alloy. Nickel provides corrosion resistance and durability. - Not cost too much. For a 65-piece set, I didn't want to spend over $150. This set came in at around half the price during the Black Friday sale. Even the regular price for this set is a great deal. As far as design, I like the understated curves. It adds some class without being too ornate or too plain. Negative: - Mikasa has to do a better job packaging the flatware. They did a great job wrapping each item in its own paper cover. The issue is that the flatware set was positioned head-to-head. This caused some of the flatware pieces to scratch the other set of flatware in the same box. For background, there are 2 sets of flatware types in each box. Therefore, if the forks were placed with the spoons, the top fork in the stack facing the top spoon in the stack would damage the finish on the spoon. From what I can tell, if the set of items were placed head-to-toe (e.g. spoon head to fork end) the damage would have been reduced or eliminated. - Half the knives were not properly buffed to a complete shine. There were some etchings in more than half the knives. There has to be better quality control with the knives. Customers expect new knives to look like new knives. Overall, the entire set is really nice. Even with the negatives listed. This is a quality flatware set that has a good amount of heft and balance to them. And they're heavy! My dish washer's door compartment for flatware has never been heavier than washing all these items at once. Note: The knives are long. In the picture, I had to separate the knives into two piles on either side of the spoons and forks. They would not fit in the compartment containing the spoon and forks. If you're interested in the tray I'm using for this set, just search for "Extra Large Expandable Silverware Organizer". Potential Helpful Hint: I've run through several washing cycles since I purchasing this flatware set. I think a lot of the issues with the knives rusting that others have mention may be due to the knives being made of a different alloy (13/0?) than the rest of the flatware set. Usually, the alloy is lower in nickel content to keep a sharper edge. This is common with most flatware, not just Mikasa. To mitigate against rust, it may help to use a wash cycle that actually dries the load fully instead of the eco mode on some dish washers. What drying via a standard heat cycle does is eliminate most of the water, which may cause rust if the knives are left wet in the dish washer for a prolonged duration.

Very high quality set that looks great and feels solid. We purchased this to replace another brand because we wanted a thicker and comfortable set of flatware. We physically touched the Mikasa set in a local department store and purchased through Amazon for a significantly lower price. This is our everyday flatware so the Mikasa set is functional for us and finished with a scratch resistant surface. The material is solid and durable enough to handle dishwasher cleaning, too. Keep in mind that the butter knives are slightly longer than our former cheap set. So, they don’t store perfectly in the utensil tray but fit well in the server section. Overall this Mikasa set is beautiful, functional and feels expensive. Highly recommended if you’re looking to have elegant and solid flatware at a value price.

I've been looking at this set of Mikasa Harmony Gold flatware set for the last several years but couldn't justify buying them for myself because I still have a very serviceable 25year old set of Mikasa French Country flatware. I finally purchased this set for my daughter. She loves it and says it's very classy and beautiful. When I asked her about the size of the flatware, because I had read in reviews that the spoons and forks were huge, she FaceTimed to show me. They looked regular sized to me and my daughter confirmed they were regular sized. Not too big or too small but just the right size for her. Great quality, substantial weight, without being heavy and looks great at place settings and at a very affordable price! You can't go wrong with this set of flatware!

I am absolutely thrilled with this flatware set! The design is timeless—sleek, elegant, and just the right touch of detail to feel special without being over the top. The flared handles and subtle banding give it a classic look that elevates both everyday meals and formal dinners. The quality is outstanding. Made from 18/10 stainless steel, these pieces feel solid and well-balanced in your hand—not flimsy or too heavy. After multiple washes (in the dishwasher, no less!), they still look shiny and new with no signs of rust or wear. I also love how complete the 65-piece set is—everything from dinner forks to serving pieces is included. It’s perfect for hosting guests or just making family dinners feel a little more special. I’ve received several compliments already! If you’re looking for a beautiful and long-lasting flatware set, this is the one. Highly recommend!

I read other reviewers comments prior to purchasing this flatware set and decided to give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did! this set is absolutely beautiful and it looks too good for everyday use. As a matter of fact it is as good as or better than the flatware I use for special dinners and holidays. This is a great quality Stainless Steel set, shiny, heavy and makes a nice statement when I use it for simple meals. I finally got rid of my mismatched, flimsy, and marred sets and this Mikasa set set came sturdily boxed, careful attention to wrapping details (took several minutes to remove the knives from their wraps). Flatware is heavy in a good way and looks very expensive and the knives actually cut foods without being overly sharp. Just buy it. You will be impressed and happy you did so. Elated over this purchase. Mikasa is usually associated with quality, affordable merchandise and this set does not disappoint.

Very impressed with this flatware set! Well balanced and all of the pieces were in pristine condition. Many sets have very dull knives but these were precision cut so cutting meat would pose little difficulty although not so sharp as to cause harm like a steak knife. Highly recommend.

Perfect

Llegaron a tiempo y me encantaron, fuertes y de buen tamaño

I loved that this was a set for 12, as 4 is never enough! Beautiful, quality cutlery that I use everyday as well as special occasions. I also wash in the dishwasher and haven't had any problems so far.

Beautiful, classic and elegant, this cutlery has a very nice hand and high polish. Workmanship is extremely refined. I couldn’t find any fault with this set except that compared to older sets that I have, the utensils are quite a bit larger. Can’t fault shipping either. The package arrived in 23 hrs after ordering!
