The twisted handle is a design I’ve been looking at for a long while and I’ve never found the look or quality that made me happy. This cutlery from Gourmet settings with it’s twisted handle and interesting tip is what I think has been my goal.

Gourmet Settings 20-piece flatware set it called “Silver Tear” due to the interesting tear drop tip at the end of the handles.  The set has 4 place settings with: salad fork, dinner fork, knife, soup spoon, and teaspoon. It is dishwasher safe and made from 18/10 stainless steel with an amazing 50-year warranty!

It’s not often I quote advertising copy but I really like the wordsmithing in what they have written for this product: “With its distinctive styling, Silver Tear flatware from Gourmet Settings is both sophisticated and dynamic, great for entertaining on an intimate or large scale. Heat-forged for durability, the pattern features a cylindrical handle that twists smoothly in a tight, uniform spiral. This highly composed look is balanced by the handles’ finish in a fluid, drop-like shape. Comfortably proportioned working ends and a gleaming mirror finish complete the design.”
