Ginkgo Norse 20-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4

My husband and I registered for the Ginkgo Norse flatware on our wedding registry. We thought this set was very attractive--simple, heavy, smooth finish, and strong. I definitely gave it a good go on the hard ice cream test and it didn't bend. But after the first wash in the dishwasher we saw minimal rusting and pitting. Now after three months there are only a few pieces that are not rusting. You can get the rust spots out or nearly invisible by scrubbing with a scotch brite pad. Seriously, who wants to inspect their silverware that closely all the time? This isn't our fancy stuff; it's our every day stuff. But the stuff looks horrible just after a few washes. Our other stainless steel stuff is not rusting or pitting. We have a brand new high end dishwasher. However, we do have hard water. Regardless though I returned this set and have gone with J.A. Henckels 45pc Bellasera Flatware Set (off of Amazon for 60 dollars for 8pc + hostess set). It's gone through the same dishwasher with no problems. The Bellasera set is beautiful but totally different style (not as heavy but still strong and the knives are unique). However, Ginkgo Norse is 18/0 and the Bellasera is 18/10. Rusting just isn't acceptable in my book. Check out the Bellasera though: J.A. Henckels 45pc Bellasera Flatware Set

"Made of moderately priced 18/10 stainless steel, Norse flatware pieces exhibit a lightweight, nicely balanced heft." I already own this flatware and love it and was happy to have additional items. The quality of these is crap. Lighter weight AND shoddily made. Edges of the teaspoons are rough and not well finished. I though the 18/0 on the blurb was a typo but what it means is these are NOT of the quality of previous Gingko products. I wished I had listened to the other negative reviews,

Have had this set for a couple of weeks...may be too early to write a review but so far I love everything about them. They look exactly as I had hoped...nice weight...run through the dishwasher twice, look great.

The only thing that I don't like is, today they are offering the service for 4 for $34 in my personal daily deals...I ordered the service for 8 for $87...and could have saved at least $20 if I known Amazon would turn around and offer it back to me at a much better price. Thanks a lot Amazon!

I have used this flatware for over 5 years, and could not be more pleased with it. It is extremely durable, and looks great--even after countless trips through the dishwasher. I couldn't have asked for anything better to fit my needs.
