Modern is hard to address... But I can tell you the silverware is slender and balances nicely in the hand. I was happy with my choice.

I think modern is a personal opinion. Each piece has a simple, elegant design. We found these actually look better than the picture. They are longer than most, slender, and well balanced. The feel is very nice as the handles all have rounded edges. They are solid, not cheap. One would have to really work at it to bend these out of shape. The 18/10 allows them to retain the new look, and clean up nicely. We had a couple pieces with manufacturing flaws that the manufacturer promptly replaced (excellent service!). We have 2 sets and really like them. These are well worth the investment. We give them 5 out of 5 stars. I think modern is a personal opinion. Each piece has a simple, elegant design.

This flatware is long and slender but filling between my fingers. It feels just right in my hands; it does not feel cheap. It feels well balanced holding it. 5 out of 5 stars. I have two sets, that how much I like them.

I would say no to your first question. It feels slender in your hand, almost too slender.

It's a very beautiful and more "elegant" looking than modern. Modern can be confused with contemporary.

I don't find the handle thin, but they are different in that they are rounded rather than flat handles like most cutlery. Bigger hands! Hmm I can't answer that! I'm happy I bought them. They are unusual and I'm drawn to things that are different.

It is very nice every day China / stoneware . It's kind of inbetween , like a lighter weight stone wear , solid it not super heavy.

The keys feel soft touch to me, but its a bit subjective. I will say that the profile of the keys is raised so its by no means a laptop style flat keyboard, but its also not a heavy mechanical keyboard.

Yes, they are smaller than the picture implies. They are similar in size to other sets of flatware I have purchased in the past.

It has a serrated edge and I love this flatware. I bought it because I used it at a friends home. I found it substantial and will stand the test of time.

I do not know the answer to your specific question. However, the flatware that I received it just beautiful. It just feels good in your hand and the appearance is gorgeous.

I bought this wok for my son and he returned as soon as he received it. He felt it was a round wok, hammered flat, making the bottom uneven. The Wok Shop was very nice and prompt in handling the return. My son went to a different site and purchased a spun steel flat bottomed wok, which he very happy with. FYI. I have had my spun steel flat bottom wok over 40 years. Be sure you get a Spun Steel not stainless steel. I hope this is helpful.

Maybe I'm wrong since 2 others seem confident but the only black handled flatware I saw recently in P.B. was not the same. From what I remember, the handles were not as dark and they were "flatter." Maybe P.B. carries another black handled than the one I saw that is identical or close to as the Montana one but I only saw one. This is nicer and better quality (and less expensive).

The mesh is not smooth, so it may feel rusty but mine was not actually rusty at all. The handle definitely looks aged. I was very happy with the antique feel of it but I guess it's not for everyone. As far as what the other person said about breakage, I overstuff mine on a regular basis and have had zero issues

We love the flatware. The knife was a little awkward at first, but once you understand the shape it works fine - the knife even "stands" alone.

The backs of the pieces are rounded and give the flatware a nice weight. I really love the way they feel in the hand, balanced and not too heavy, but feel substantial. Very good quality, and I expect to use them for a very long time.

I gave it as a gift but asked them this morning. They think it is smooth and flat but they will check after they get home from work. If it's not flat, I will let you know. I do know that my daughter in law loves the teapot.

It is thin, the kind of thin you expect from bone china, and it is elegant. I purchased it on a whim and I am thrilled! It is not as thin as Corelle but, in my opinion, it is much nicer.

I don't know anything about the grades of the stainless. We first saw it in the store at Macy's and we thought it was beautiful. (maybe you can see it at Macy's). Then we found it on Amazon. They were both about the same price, but we live a distance from Macy's, so we ordered it from Amazon. It is quality flatware. It is pretty heavy, but not as heavy as this expensive flatware that my mom has: Oneida Michelangelo. My mom has had for probably 40 years (they still make it) but it is $50 a place setting. My husband thinks that our Mikasa Cocoa Blossom is prettier and nicer than the Oneida. It is not made in China. It was made in a different Asian country.(I can't remember which one. ) I don't know anything about the grades of the stainless.

That issue had me confused, too; but I decided to buy it for my daughter anyway. I looked it over before taking it to her, and it looked adequate to me. My daughter has had no complaints and says it IS a space saver. It looks very nice in her kitchen, too. I helped with the dishes once and didn't have a problem with putting silverware in its container. If you're sloppy putting things in there, you might have to right them again; but, honestly, it just doesn't seem like it should be an issue. Hope you like it. It's very attractive and sturdy.

This is really flat. But remember, it weigh a lot and it was not well packaged and when the package arrived, it was broken into many pieces - unusable. What I did instead was visited a local granite/marble supplier in my town and they cut me a small piece. Much safer than trying to order through the mail. Good luck!
