Black Forge Flatware Sets

Thank you for your feedback,After long time of experiments we got the cause of this problem,and it was the black oxide processor on handles parts.This is also unfortunate for us ,we get ruin our unique product value in the beginning.but we come back with flawless products.

Hi,Thank you for your honest review, yes,As we said and people reported rust problem onto the black handles parts,Nothing bad onto polished areas,.i respect your thoughts and opinions onto our flatware design, and we do hope we can improve.I would love to see one day your grinding ability to get more rounded shapes.

Hi, To be honest, in the almost 2 years that I've owned these now, I've not used them very much. The rust is part of the issue, though I can confirm it only ever happens on the black part of the handles, mainly on the laser engraved logo and near the transition between the black and the stainless. Never had any rust issues on the polished surfaces. My bigger issue with them has been the ergonomics. The slants cut in the end of the handles are quite sharp, if you hold it in any way that presses the end into your palm. And while the curve of the handle feels quite comfortable in some positions, it can make for a somewhat awkward angle when bringing the food to your mouth. Lastly, the shape of the heads of the spoons feels very awkward in the mouth, in my opinion. I still LOVE the looks, and maybe some day I'll get around to grinding down the sharp ends and giving them another try....but unfortunately, for now, they just look pretty in the drawer, and are only used on the rare occasion
