Well lets look at other places. Overstock has both sets for sale, but only one (positive) review. Other Wallace sets have limited reviews, but overall run 4.5-5 stars. Given that this is 18/10, not too shabby.
As usual when we have a sample, I felt these up for you guys. Holding the knife, I’d say med-heavy. It had a good heft to it but not overly heavy. It had a nice balance to it as well.
Holler if you have questions and I’ll grab the samples.
The last “18/10” set I bought from woor was not “18/10” at all. There was no “18/10” stamp on the flatware or anywhere on the box.
Also - terrible customer service.
I requested a RMA and they want me to pay back shipping for an item they lie about.
The customer support rep who goes by Daniel asks me to:
“Can you please provide documentation that states the product is not 18/10 so that we may address this issue?”
So they ask the customer to provide documentation for the product they sell.
[MOD: We just verified with the vendor of the set you purchased. It’s definitely 18/10 just as we stated. It’s just not stamped. Other sites on the Interwebz also say it’s 18/10.]
It looks like the forks and spoons on the Parker might be heavier than the Whitney based on the thickness of the handles. The handles on the Whitney look pretty narrow. Is this correct? Do the Parker forks and spoons feel heavier? Is there a weight listed on the boxes for each style that you could share?
Actually, two of played with the forks of both and we thought the Whitney felt a tiny bit heavier. The neck was about the same on both but the Whitney has a bit more weight on the end because of the wider handle. I’m talking a negligible difference here though. I didn’t get a feel for any quality difference between the two.
And no weight listed on the boxes. Again, any weigh difference is negligible.
