Yamazaki Escapade 45-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 8

These are decent Chinese reproductions. The originals were very high quality and made in Japan.

The Modern Hollow Knife should have JAPAN printed on it and have a thin perpendicular join line just before it tappers into the flat surface of the knife. The knifes I received from Yamazaki Tableware Inc./Amazon appeared to be one solid piece with CHINA printed on it. The stamped branding on the forks and spoons was off a bit as well. The packaging looks like something you would buy at Target, not at all like the original packaging sold in fine silverware stores.

I think the design is great and this set is priced much lower than the originals that were of higher quality. If you're ok with decent quality Chinese reproductions the price is the best I've seen. I prefer the craftsmanship of the originals from Japan.
