I got my Zwilling JA Henckels Vintage 1876 flatware a couple of months ago and waited to review until I'd put them to use through the holidays. Wow! I've gotten nothing but compliments on how nice they look with my table settings. Yes, they're marketed as "vintage"; but, they also have clean, modern lines too. The high polish finish cleans great in my dishwasher. I've had no problems with spotting or rust as some reviewers have reported. Liked these so much I bought more settings and the other serving set as well. Love 'em. Expect them to last me for years. RThis flatware set is elegant, nicely weighted, and an exceptional value for both every day and formal dining at home. I am very pleased with the set and would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, versatile design that works well with a wide range of table setting styles.This cutlery set is fantastic. It is very understated in the photo. The weight is exceptional and the pattern is subtle with a hint of elegance. It can be used for both formal and everyday dining. Henkels is a brand to be trusted. Don't hesitate if you're thinking of purchasing this set, you won't be disappointed. One more note, this set is 18/10 which is hard to find and what you need to have in stainless steel cutlery. Some brands state 18/0 in their product description, don't be fooled, it is not 18/10. For durability and quality it must say 18/10.I recieved this silverware set about one week ago, I couldnt wait to open up the box, it was well worth the few days wait, the pieces are beautiful, well weighted, and easy to clean. I am very happy with this choice. Some silverware is way to light, or some even a bit to heavy, this product was the Goldilocks "Just Right" Choice.If I happen to have any problems with it in the future, I will review it again. But so far, quite happy.I very rarely write reviews... and have never before actually cared about flatware beyond "okay/not okay." This set, however, changes all that.
The design is classic, simple, and very attractive without being at all ornate. The finish is brilliant. The 'heft' is impressive; you won't get muscular lifting it, but it is extremely solid and well-made. I haven't had the set long enough to test rustproofing, but the 18/10 composition should make that a given.
Aesthetically, there is more to the design than the edges of the handles: There is a minor, attractive taper as viewed from above. Also, for the knives and forks there is a subtle 'S' curve to the handles when viewed from the side.
If I ever need another set of flatware, I will try to locate this design again, they are that good.
