I read a study that said copper has natural antibacterial properties. Seems like flatware would be a good use of that…
I recently bought the brass version of this set from Woot. I’m really happy with them. They have a good heft and feel solid. The maintenance is a little more involved than your standard $20 set, but that’s the trade off in having nice things.
What kind of maintenance? Besides into the sink with soap and water?
