People sure do seem to really like the gold cutlery and it is only getting more and more popular over the last couple of years.

This is a setting for one person that consists of a knife, fork, soup spoon and teaspoon. It is made of  18/10 stainless steel but you want might to be careful with the dishwasher as it could lose some color. It seems they had some problem with the black but now use a powder coat that should hold of a lot better.

I must say the black and gold design is very striking and will make an impression on your diners with this flatware.

Towle have been Silversmiths since 1690 and we are just starting to look at their product line starting with the Living Wave stainless steel cutlery set.

It is a 42 piece flatware set with service for eight. This consists of a dinner fork, salad fork, dinner knife, dinner spoon and teaspoon. But wait there’s more! It also includes a large serving spoon and a large cold meat fork.

The bias cut at the end of the handle is a great dangerous looking  touch.  It is made of a heavy gauge 18/0 stainless steel that is dishwasher safe. But there are some reports of rusting, the key is not to let them touch in the dishwasher. This applies to all stainless steel cutlery.
