Jean Dubost Laguiole 24-Piece Everyday Flatware Set, Turquoise Handles - Rust-Resistant Stainless Steel - Includes Wooden Tray - Made in France

I had a small set of spoons that I bought in the French Quarter years ago, and I just loved them. On my birthday this year, I decided to treat myself to a whole set. They are so beautiful, I get daily joy from using them. I was also pleasantly surprised at how sharp the steak knives are! My husband loves them.

I ignored the other reviews because this set would have been perfect for us. I'm sorry I did - and am returning them. The steel handles are actually plastic, and there's no way these are made in France... they are made in China. The knives are so thin they bend when you're trying to use them, and the whole set has already rusted after a week of use.Sorry, can't recommend this set.

Beautiful color. The knives are actually sharp which is why I bought the set. For some people the small size of the tea spoons are really coffee or desert spoons. The cost is too high.

Best Laguiole silverware. Hands down. Durable, sturdy and beautiful.

While the set looks impressive, I had one knife with a cracked handle. The crack runs from the base to the first rivet as if it was riveted on too tight. Perhaps it occurred from shipping but it doesn’t seem that way. All I can say is I’ve got to use the broken handle knife so my guests don’t get the wrong idea about serving them with broken utensils.

These are charming and reasonably well-made - - - maybe perfect for a "bistro-inspired" dinner setting. But the construction is lightweight and much less robust or "substantial" than what I've come to expect from Laguiole. Still, an acceptable investment for the money and recommended with a few caveats.The sizes are awkward . . . forks and soup spoons are very long, whereas the tea spoons are seemingly sized for children. Overall, this would make a nice "picnic set", but if I had it to do over again I would not order . . . In sum, too nice to return - - but I'll be on the lookout for an alternative dinner set from another manufacturer.

They look ok but are kind of flimsy and not well made. Basically a ripoff given the price.
