Kingston’s Forks & Spoons
So I have a kitchen that has everything, but for years now, it’s irked me that my everyday silverware doesn’t match each other. I have 4 of fork A, 7 of fork B and 2 of fork C, etc., and the same goes for spoons — so I decided to replace them all.I ordered the Kingstone forks and spoons (the dinner forks and spoons shown in the pictures), and here are my first impressions.The forks are quite sleek and beautiful in design. These aren’t expensive “special dinner” forks; they’re also not priced as such so all I care about is for everyday family usage or casual family dinners.THE FORKS:The handles are pretty because they’re so slim, but in turn, they’re not going to be as comfortable as wider-handled utensils. I don’t hold onto forks for a long time or for any manual labor, so that won’t affect me at all.But I did stare at these for awhile, contemplating returning them, because compared to the Kingstone spoons, they’re so….light. It’s not an entirely bad thing for them to be light and heavy utensils are not actually desirable for everyday use, but compared to the spoons of the same model, and compared to my current collection of forks — feel a bit waify.Ultimately, I decided to keep them. I tried bending them using normal pressure and they’re sturdy; that’s good enough. They go so nicely with the spoons that it was best to keep them together as a set.THE SPOONS:The spoons are FABULOUS. The weight is so balanced on these and they feel solid. I’d not be surprised if they cost 5x what these do. They have identical handles but for spoon gripping, they’re perfect. The depth of the spoon is normal and the finish is beautiful. (I hope the finish stays like this.)Very sleek. Very demure. Haha.OVERALL:I like that they come in a set of 16. I rarely have more than 10 guests at one time, but as my current selection of utensils indicate, these things somehow disappear one-by-one, so an extra six is good.All that said, I recommend them.Amazon won’t let me review these forks and spoons separately, so let me clarify what rating I’d give these: I’d give the spoons 5-stars but for the forks, solely due to the slight lack of weight, I’d say they are a solid 4-stars.Also note that these are NOT expensive utensils. For the price, these are AMAZING. I’m buying them expecting a few good years out of them at best, though I’d not be surprised if they last much longer.I just got these so I can’t comment on longevity, but if they rust or begin peeling off after some usage — I’ll update my review.
