OneidaT837045A Lincoln 45-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 8 Silver

I researched and searched, bought a set from another brand, returned it. Went back to Oneida, read the reviews on this set, took a chance, and couldn't stop the happiness at the look and feel of this beautiful flatware set as I opened the box! I researched for a heavy weight flatware to replace the set we got over 10 years ago; unfortunately Oneida discontinued that pattern. This modern, sleek, classy pattern is a great replacement, it's even better. We love the sleek, curvy, smooth style, and mostly it is the weight we wanted. To help others, I am going to include the weight, using my food scale, which I would have loved to have when shopping around. To give you an idea, the knife is 4.2 oz., the soup spoon is 1.8 oz., the salad fork is 1.7, dinner fork, 2.3 and the teaspoons is 1.5 ounces. I just ordered the 2nd set of these, and should last us for a long time! Oneida does it again! I highly recommend this pattern. Sometimes, happiness can come in a nice, classy box of Oneida, heavyweight, aesthetically pleasing flatware! :-)

My previously owned Oneida stainless steel over the years became a victim of many life changes. So, I had a flatware deficit!!Since my days of after college and single life, I had been a user of Oneida stainless. In my mind that's all there is! Of course, times sadly have changed not always for the best. I had much difficulty finding stainless steel that I would even consider for my use. Mind you, I live alone now. My days of "entertaining" have with mixed feelings passed. But, I still insisted in my mind on Oneida flatware for everyday! I wanted more than 4 place settings, but no more than 6. The days of needing 12 places with every imaginable hostess and serving pieces long gone. Wanted it to feel substantial in my hand. Oh. And I wanted quality for my money! I know....picky! Picky!It truly is difficult shopping online. In smaller and mid-size towns our choices are more limited. So, after much studying descriptions, specifications and reviews I made my decision.And I am very pleased! The 8 place setting of Oneida Lincoln pattern stainless steel is what I was searching for. And I am most satisfied! I originally wanted 6 place setting, but 8 isn't overkill. The hostess set is useful, along with other pieces already in my posession. Eventually I may even add a few additional soup spoons. Even though I live alone, I use those the most. And a few iced tea spoons. It will be interesting to find other patterns of those pieces to coordinate with my Lincoln pattern. I'm enjoying not having matching everything in this new world. And am embracing it. Even my dishes and accessory pieces!No problems with rusting or dullness. They shine and are bright! I wash in dishwasher. Even after drying cycle I wipe with a soft cloth (also Amazon finds) as well as my dishes, etc. I like the sharp tines of the forks, as I did search for ones that would pierce food easily. Not ones that tend to be "squared" at the ends. I zoomed in on every feature during my search!If a friend was to be searching for new Stainless flatware, I could and would make this a recommendation!

I originally purchased this silverware in mid September this year. I liked the pattern because it was the same pattern I previously had by the same company. When I opened the box initially, there were several pieces with rusted handled. I re-ordered the item on Sept 25 and swapped out the bad pieces and returned the item to Amazon. Tonight, as I put the siverware away, I noticed this knife with a rusted handle. This is new as of today and not something I "missed" in unpacking the second order. This product is substantially lighter than the same product I purchased in 2012. It is obviously cheaper and not worth the money!! Look at another vendor for your silverware! I'm extremely disappointed!!

My first set of flatware years ago was Oneida. It was still going strong except my kids kept accidentally leaving them in sink & they'd fall into garbage disposal side then receive chips out of the metal. I bought this set to replace that set, hoping for the same great quality that lasted over 15 years. No such luck. Pieces are already rusting. Received this set end of July but didn't even open right away due to being in the hospital with my daughter. It is the first of September & they are already in bad shape. Super disappointed to have spent this kind of money on something that did not hold up well. Unfortunately my older daughter opened the box & so I don't know if there was a warranty card in there. Looks like I am stuck with crud flatware since Oneida won't help out and I am past the return window with Amazon.

I bought this for my wife because it was Wood or Silverware for our 5th anniversary. Even though it's 2021 and I'm the family cook, do the laundry etc.....she loved this set. We had a good chuckle at "old world" traditions and greatly appreciate the quality of this silverware set. I will probably buy a 2nd set because someone (not me) has an issue losing spoons at work. I accept that, though, because you can always replace silverware, but not yours pretty wife........Oneida, please do not discontinue this set!!!A++++ AWESOME!!!!
