The perfect pasta twirl, the soft collapse of cake , the crunch when cutting into a loaf of sourdough—these are the moments when the right silverware really earns its place at the table. From the weight of it in your hand to the contour of the handles, it doesn’t just serve the purpose of getting your food from plate to mouth (although, great that it does); it has the ability to transform your dining experience. After all, there’s a reason why a well-made flatware set may become an heirloom, passed down from one generation to the next.
