There is a particular pleasure in flatware that feels right in the hand, and this set — forged in La Monnerie, France, a town with a centuries-long tradition of cutlery making — has it. Expertly weighted stainless steel with hand-finished natural wood handles that bring warmth to a table without trying too hard. The kind of set that works as well at a casual weeknight dinner as it does when people come over.
Set of five: knife, dinner fork, salad fork, soup spoon, and teaspoon. Dishwasher safe.
