This simple plain design flatware FITS really well in the hand. Most other designs have a skinny little neck that is hard to grip. The Mooncrest is in my opinion beautuful in its shape and simplicity as well as functional for it's intended use.

Feels great

A friend of mine has this silverware and I like it so well that I bought my own. There is something about the weight and balance that makes it 'comfortable'. It is sturdy and doesn't bend, even when scooping ice cream. If you are looking for ornate, this isn't the silverware for you but I think it is attractive. It looks better than the picture.

Great set for the money (I paid about $43 + $3.99 overnight shipping w/ Amazon Prime)...Heavy in your hand, great balance and excellent quality. I decided after months of the crappiest "dollar store" silverware set in the world, that I no longer wanted to get rust poisoning from my flatware. I bit the bullet on these because they looked like good quality and Amazon was about $11 cheaper than wally world. GREAT product!!! SO PLEASED!! One word of advice, though...They're not good with paper plates...Due to their weight, people tend to drop them left and right. Good problem to have I guess...jP

stainless steel rusting dilemma

Review Date: February 1, 2010

Reviewer: Sylvia, Dallas, Texas, USA

Sorry, I'm about to write a review on a product I do NOT own (but was thinking of buying). I did remember seeing these in a store a couple years back, and they did feel really good in the hand, though.

But the main point of my posting is to help people understand all the issues about stainless steel rusting or not rusting. This is a great FAQ from Specialty Steel Industry of North America. ([...]):
---------------
1. What makes stainless steel stainless?

Answer: Stainless steel must contain at least 10.5 % chromium. It is this element that reacts with the oxygen in the air to form a complex chrome-oxide surface layer that is invisible but strong enough to prevent further oxygen from "staining" (rusting) the surface. Higher levels of chromium and the addition of other alloying elements such as nickel and molybdenum enhance this surface layer and improve the corrosion resistance of the stainless material. See the "Stainless Steel Primer" for more information.

2. What is the difference between 18/8 and 18/10 stainless steel?

Answer: The first number is the amount of chromium that is contained in the stainless, i.e., 18 is 18% chromium. The second number is the amount of nickel, i.e., 8 stands for 8% nickel. So 18/8 means that this stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. 18/10 is 18% chromium and 10% nickel. The higher the numbers the more corrosion resistant the material. 18/0 is a misleading designation. Both 18/8 and 18/10 contain nickel and are part of the grade family "300 series" stainless. 18/0 means that there is 18% chromium but zero nickel. When there is no nickel the stainless grade family is the "400 series". 400 series are not as corrosion resistant as the 300 series and are magnetic, where the 300 series are non-magnetic.

3. Can stainless steel rust? Why? (I thought stainless did not rust!)

Answer: Stainless does not "rust" as you think of regular steel rusting with a red oxide on the surface that flakes off. If you see red rust it is probably due to some iron particles that have contaminated the surface of the stainless steel and it is these iron particles that are rusting. Look at the source of the rusting and see if you can remove it from the surface. If the iron is embedded in the surface, you can try a solution of 10% nitric and 2% hydrofluoric acid at room temperature or slightly heated. Wash area well with lots and lots of water after use. Commercially available "pickling paste" can also be used. See "The Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel" for more information.
