Item : B0000CFLKX Customer Reviews Great set! by .. Amanda Johnson () This is my second set. We loved it so much the first time that we bought it again. Decent but not great by .. Jodie A. Zolezzi (St.Louis) This was my first set of flatware when I moved out on my own. After years of handwashing and everyday use, the necks of the spoons and tines of the dinner forks started to bend. Since I needed more place settings and at the time was not aware I could go online find the pattern, I replaced Flight with Mooncrest and am INFINATELY happier with the Mooncrest pattern. Mooncrest is twice as heavy, practically destruction-proof, and are holding up MUCH better than the pieces of the Flight set I still have left. Flight is OK for everyday use, but I would never use the same set for casual entertaining because of the use they cannot sustain. Get the Mooncrest pattern if you need a sturdy set that you can interchange with everyday use and casual entertaining. Simple elegance that lasts by .. E. F. Winerock (Chicago, IL) I've had the 4-place Oneida Flight set for around ten years. It has held up very well, even now that I have a dishwasher. The pieces are light but sturdy, and have not gotten any stains or scratches although they are used almost every day. Recently, I bought the 45-piece 8-place set from Amazon. It arrived sooner than expected and in good condition. I look forward to having matching silverware at dinner parties, and the serving utensils are a nice bonus. The new pieces are certainly shinier than those from the old set, though. However, the main reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because of one strange surprise. Apparently in the last ten years Oneida has significantly changed the shape of the Flight butter knife. The knives from my original set have noticeably thicker, more rounded handles than the knives from the new set. While I doubt our dinner guests will notice our butter knives are different shapes, I would have liked a warning that the current design was different from the earlier design. While I would still have bought the new set, customers should know in advance that the current Flight butter knives won't match sets bought several years ago. Great flatware! Takes a beating! by .. K. Sartain () We've have two of this set (Service for 16) for over 6 years now and they're still in good shape. Let me tell you, we are heavy duty eaters here! They get used daily and also at frequent large family gatherings. The utensils have held up against being used as tools, run through the dishwasher hundreds of times, lost in the disposal and they are still able to shovel food into our mouths! Sure, some of the spoons and forks have gotten bent when abused but they straighten right up with a tweak or two. The stiff knife blades will cut right through a steak. They've got a nice heft to them that gives you confidence that your food will make it to your mouth without the fork bending. People who have complained that these are 18/0 and not 18/10 Stainless are lame. For this use 18/0 is more than adequate (I'm an engineer so there!) They've never rusted. They are not as shiny after being abused for six year but that has nothing to do with the type of steel. AND...they are a great deal at Amazon! Still going... by .. M. Cunning (NC, USA) I've had this flatware set for 16 years now and I still love it. Nice, understated contemporary look. Good quality.
