Are the knives serrated? is the teaspoon very large? do the tines work well to pick up salad?

Over 25 years ago I bought this pattern on a trip to San Francisco. It was designed and made in Japan at that time. I was thrilled to recently buy a large number of place settings to add to it. The pattern is just a smidge not as crisp as the Japanese one. These are now made in Vietnam, but are still really high quality in appearance - also finished with pattern on the front and the back

I love my set. The knives are not serrated but effective with whatever is on the plate. Teaspoons are not European size used for coffee or tea but measure one true liquid teaspoon. Salad forks are efficient with leafy greens.Note: I do not put my set in the dishwasher. Knives stay sharper that way and finish remains lustrous.

Knives are not serrated, there butter knives. Teaspoons are standard size. Not oversized like some silverware. We haven't had any trouble picking up salad with the tines.

The knives are not serrated, the teaspoon is not overly large but is well balanced and the larger spoon works well on soup and such; the forks are quite nice; regular forks have longish tines and both work well; I use the regular fork for heavy meal sized salads and the smaller for dessert or light salad or sides. The set is well balanced, easy care, subtle in design and suits both formal and casual settings. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. Leslie

The knives are serrated. The teaspoon is small but the soup spoon is large. Yes, the tines pick up salad just fine. I love the flatware.

I'm not at home to check on the serration of the knives.The teaspoon is a standard size and the tines work well on everything.

The knives are mildly serrated. The tines are perfect in shape. The teaspoons are a beautiful size not over sized like some of the new sets. The proportions of this cutlery is truly beautiful. I use it with my WedgeWood China.

They are similar to vegetable cutting knives, they are good size for that and skinning meats, about 5-7 in long and pretty sharp. I was pleased.

No It is not. Out of the box they were not particularly sharp, but after a quick sharpening session they are just fine. You can't easily sharpen serrated knives.

The top half of the blade is serrated, the bottom half is sharp like a normal knife. The weight balance is great :)

None of these knives are serrated. But you scarcely need one, these are so sharp!

The knives are solid handles and yes there is a serrated edge on the blade. I love this set of silverware!! I bought one for a gift and one for me!!

I have two blocks of Chicago Cutler knives and at least one in each block is serrated. I love my knives!

It is serrated. Great knife. I have been less than kind to it and it has held up.

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.

Yes, I bought it to go along with a special knife for chopped salads and at first I was skeptical because it was plastic. I've used it a couple times without any problems.

Serrated. Which if I knew, I would not have purchased. I prefer sharp non-serrated steel knives.

The knife handles are solid and there is a fine edge on the blade. I actually tried it out on a steak with success! I hope this helps!

Yes, but very fine serrated edges. I bought the steak knives also and they are wonderful for when I Bar B Q. Both sets are beautiful and no regrets on the purchase.

They have a decent sharpened edge to them. No serrations, don't expect them to do well with a tough steak, but don't give them to a small child either. They could easily cut skin. I'd imagine if you needed to, you could dull them or sharpen them more.

Hi Karen, You'll like this set. The knife is serrated and cuts very nicely and has a solid handle. Enjoy, Doug

They Are Sort Of Like A Duel Pizza Cutter. I Only Use It For Basic Salads. The Hardest Thing I've Ever Cut WithThem Is A Shredded CaRrot.

Yes, very fine serrations. Quality is exceptionally good in my opinion with a beautiful high polish on the steak knives in particular. Only draw back about this set is you have to buy the 3 big knives separately (block has empty slots for them) and they run $146 for the 3 total, but it's a heirloom quality set so I just ordered one at a time when I could so it didn't seem like so much money at once. The 3 additional knives that are ordered as open stock to fill the 3 empty slots are: Classic Boning $42, Classic 7-inch Santoku with hollow edge $57, Classic 7-inch bread knife $47. Bob B.
