I purchased this kit because my fiancé would pack my lunch for work but never utensils. Now as greatful as I am that my man packs my lunch I hated the surprise of "biiiishhhh how you gonna eat that soup?!?" Needless to say this goes with me to work and stays there..... and yes I clean them before hoarding them at my desk .... BUY IT!Take this EVERYWHERE, except to the court house where you will be asked to check it. The screeners WILL ASK you, where can we order this for ourselves and how much does it cost! It is so beautiful and practical! I love it and have ordered extra for friends! ? This is PREPPING in Style! ?Fits perfectly into my purse. Convenient for restaurants that use plastic utensils that are not wrapped in plastic. I don't have to be concerned that others touched my utensil and put it back. No I don't use at other people homes. Occasionally I use it restaurants that are not the cleanest.I stay at hotels and extended stays for work. Having my own utensils is super convenient and havi g them stored in the case makes it easy to use on the go.I really like the set. The only down side is the knife will not cut. It's probably just the dullness. I took a lemon for my lunch and it would not even cut thru it. The knife left green on the lemon skin from the back and forth action. Not too thrilled about that but the set is nice to take for lunch and travel.I have a metal set of utensils that I can use at work so no worry about being out of plastic wareThese work great for bringing to work and school. However, the case leaves black fuzzies all over the silverware which is frustrating when it gets all over the food. Otherwise, I would recommend it.These utensils have a decent weight ( they aren’t too heavy). The edges were smooth to the touch.The case has a nice soft texture.. The utensils stay put in their individual compartments and are easy to clean. I’m very happy with this product and will be ordering some as stocking stuffers for Christmas.. LOVE THEM!I love this set. Is it much heavier than I anticipated? 100%. I originally intended to keep it in my purse, but found it to be big and bulky for that purpose. I adapted and now use it exclusively at work, I am able to leave it at work. Keep this in mind if you intend to carry it in your lunch bag or purse. With that said - I LOVE this set. It is sturdy, has a good mouth feel, and very easy to clean.Bought this set for taking to work and it's amazing! Beautiful and great quality! Would also be great for camping or backpacking. You can't beat the price either for stainless steal.10/10I'm glad I don't have to carry separate containers/pouches for utensils and straws. I'm especially impressed by the teaspoon and the straw covers. I don't know how well it would hold up in a dishwasher as I always hand wash mine.Son de muy buena calidad, el estuche es bastante práctico, y las boquillas de silicón aumentan la comodidad al usar los popotes. ¡Una gran compra!All the pieces are good quality with exception of the knife.I discovered that the “cutting edge” is as dull as the back of the blade. I will need to sharpen it myself.
