Mikasa Harmony Silverware Set for 12, 65-Piece 18/10 Stainless Steel Flatware Set with Flared Handles, Dishwasher Safe Cutlery Set, Elegant Dining Utensils

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.

Beautiful set of silverware. 2 different size forks, 2 different size spoons, and knife. It’s heavy but useable with durability. The husband loves it and commented at dinner about the upgrade in our silverware. The process excellent, I was able to get them on sale, great value. It comes with directions to not let them soak in water. Overall this Mikasa set is worth the hype. Highly recommended!

We purchased this heavy-duty stainless steel silverware set for our new home, and it has been perfect for both everyday use and entertaining guests. The weight and balance of each piece really stand out—they feel solid and high-quality in the hand, not flimsy or lightweight. The polished finish looks elegant on the table and pairs well with any dinnerware style, whether casual meals or formal dinners. Everything cuts, scoops, and handles food comfortably, and the knives are sharp enough for meats without being overly aggressive. After multiple dishwasher cycles, they still look brand new with no rust or dulling. Overall, this set gives a restaurant-quality feel at home and is exactly what we needed for hosting.

Great quality heavy and overall very nice. I have had this set for 3 months now , still gas very nice finish

This silverware is nice looking and heavy weight. The knives are sharp, better than some of our steak knives. The size is the new oversized style, where each piece feels bigger than what we used to own. We have had the silverware approximately one month. I have never had a problem with rusting or major scratching with my previous brands which we washed in the dishwasher for over a decade. We also have a water purification system for the whole house. I am already seeing deep scratches, pitting and rust on multiple pieces. I’ve attached 2 photos which are hard to take with the reflection f the silver so I circled them. We were trying to upscale our silverware with this set, but they are WAY worse than our two older sets. This was a total waste of money and I’m totally regretting this purchase annd that I gave away my old silverware. I used to think Mikasa was a high quality brand. Not anymore.

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.

Nice flatware at a fair price. Only issue is the knifes are not 18/10 stainless. When put through the dishwasher rust spots develop on the knifes. The knifes are highIy magnetic which is not the case with the other pieces. I believe this is due to low nickIe content. I was able to clean them up but it took a little elbow grease and a scuff pad. Will be hand washing the knifes moving forward. No issues with the rest of set. On the plus side, the knifes are nice to use and have serrations so they should cut through cooked meats nicely negating the need to purchase separate steak knifes. Think a cross between a butter and a steak knife. I would have preferred they stick with the butter knife concept and use same material as the other pieces. We already have steak knifes which do get hand washed. These have a polished rather than brushed finish so finger prints do show up. Overall the pieces are very sturdy and pass the hard ice cream test!! Relatively satisfied but wish they would be upfront about the difference in the knife material.

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!

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

São maravilhosos, pesados, um brilho impecável, só achei um pouco grande os de saladas, bem maiores do antigo que eu tinha.

Excelente juego de cubiertos, calidad excepcional, recomendado al 💯

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.
