Thank you! I’ve been searching for flatware to replace my 25 year old (and worn) set, and couldn’t figure out how to know when some product would have the same “heft” to it. I ordered some (and returned it) that stated that it was “heavy weight” but was light compared with my old set. Wish I had visited your site first. Thanks again! Bebe in Portland
