How sturdy are the knives, forks &amp; spoons, ie do they bend easily when pressure is applied during use? Say if you scoop ice-cream out of a pint container with the spoon? Thanks Greg.

They are very sturdy. Basically normal stainless steel cutlery but with a hole for hanging. Very nice looking set also.

The pans are very sturdy and I see no reason why you couldn't use metal utensils. I've not had any scratch issues either.

They seem very sturdy to me. They have a good feel to them when you use them. It is as if you are using a high quality metal knife, just sharper. I do wash them by hand and use them daily. Hope this helps...

No. I have been using for a couple weeks and have had no problem with utensils.

I haven't had any issues with any of my Mora knives. Stainless or carbon steal. But than I haven't tried to bend or brake any of them.

They are pretty sturdy--equivalent to my Calphalon and Cuisinart utensils. So far I've not had a use for the grater so I can't comment on that one piece, but the rest are sturdy and functional.

yes, although, now that I have had them for several months, and I use them all off the time; I would not recommend them to anyone. Their quality is shoddy. I have had the smaller spoon fall apart already. The larger spoon has chipped. I found a chunk of it in a soup I made. I am not rough with my tools. I have a set of wooden spoons, that I am still using, for over 25 years. They are still just fine.

Any knife tip will bend or break if abused. Used properly you'll have no problems and a knife for a lifetime.

you could try and balance the ring on the edge of something firm (counter) and apply downward pressure near the split in the ring. This should bend it so you can remove the spoons.If you had a couple pair of pliers that would also work by bending in opposite directions to open the ring.Hope that works for you.

They are very sturdy for disposable cutlery. I've been using them for years. I even wash and reuse them a couple of times and the knives actually cut because they are serrated, unlike most plastic knives. It's definitely a good product. Good luck.

No I have not left them in the water that long. They still look new as of yet, we use them daily. I think its a great deal. We bought some wood spoons from a local store and they were just junk, these however are very thick and sturdy. I don't think I could break them by trying to. They hold up very well. Hope this helps...

Business Reader said it best. My direct experience is that metal utensils, when used properly have no effect. As we are careful in how we handle our kitchen gear, we tend to 'baby' pots & pans as to do anything less results in uneven wear and a shorter utility. As we stated in our recommendation, this product is of very high quality which translates into increased durability when cared fro properly.

I don't have many metal utensils. We use regular forks, knives, etc. and haven't had a problem using these. No problem with marks.

I have not actively tried to bend the flatware but during every day use, including the dishwasher and four boys, we've been very pleased. The utensils are sturdy and have not displayed any bending. We've been using them for over a month daily.

I have not used it in a situation harsh enough to test the tip. From the research I did before buying, this is the best knife for the $. I completely recommend it!

I have only used them a few times, but so far no scratches. I have not really made anything that would warrant using a knife in them though. Things slide out fairly easily if you butter them before using them and eating something (Mini chicken pot pies) directly out of them with forks did not scratch them.

Have to agree with Charles Rice. Ask the seller. I can tell you that the forks are not built for heavy lifting. Otherwise seem to be pretty good, just don't overload the forks.
