Title: I can bend the knife!
Review: I ordered this set to figure out if I wanted to register for it for our upcoming wedding. I grew up with Oneida flatware - the pattern my folks had, Satinique, was discontinued and Oneida suggests this as a close match.In design, yes, it is a close match. The set is marked 18/10 and is nice with the exception of the knife. First, it feels light and hollow - it's lighter than the other pieces which makes no sense since it's made of the most material. I see no marking on it indicating it's Oneida, let alone 18/10. Astonished, I tried to bend the blade and it definately gives under little pressure. (Not a full bend, but a knife shouldn't flex). Looking more closely at the designs along the handle, it almost appears that black paint was used to create depth, as opposed to actual molds.I'm curious to see if ordering directly from Oneida yields a better product, or if there is just a lapse in quality. 18/10 - lies! My cheap set from Target is better quality.
