I love having these! I had a set of two from another seller. When my family and I go out to eat, I always feel bad using plastic utensils as I know how bad they are for our environment, and all I could imagine was the landfills being filled with plastic utensils and not bio-degrading anytime soon. So I bought a set of two for a family of five to slit and share. Well I got 2 more sets so we didn't have too be so gross with one another, and they work great! I love bamboo and how durable and light it is. Though, I will say from experience that I would highly recommend that you put them in a cloth case of some sort or wrap them up in something before placing them in your purse if you carry them around with you everywhere like I do, as they can get banged up. Not like they get bent out of shape--not at all-- but some of the teeth from the knife from the first set I got has chipped. Its not unusable by any means, but it would be better if they were in some sort of protective case. I'm sure for sanitary reasons too, obvi.
