They were supposed to be the best...

I really did not want to write this review. Overall, it's a quality flatware set. Yet, my knives are falling apart after just two months of very light use. To be fair, this is only a critique of the knives - the forks and spoons are solid. But back to the knives. The welds are failing where the blade are connected to the "hollow" handles. They are easily bent with the slightest of pressure (think, cutting a medium-well steak). After this occurred twice, I decided to inspect all of the knives, only to find that many of them have a visible gap between the blade and handle. This is a $270 set of flatware that was supposed to last a lifetime. I hoped to hand them down to my children some day. I did not expect to be here leaving this review and looking up warranty information just two months in.
