Satin Garnet 65 Piece Fine Flatware Set, Service For 12

I am so happy Oneida continues to carry the Satin Garnet Flatware Set. We use this Flatware every day as well as for special gatherings. My original set is at least 10 years old and I've added a second set and replacement pieces throughout the years. Excellent quality, great finish, and I love how the knives easily cut through basic meats like chicken and pork.

I bought my set of 12 place settings over 10 years ago and have replaced pieces over the years that were lost. I love this set and have had many compliments on it. Never tire of it!

Absolutely love this set. Its easy to hold, soft in your fingers, and carries nice weight. After many years of use and several pieces missing, I just ordered a new second set.

In June we purchased a 12 place flatware set from Oneida. I started to notice that rust spots were forming on the knives.

Called Customer Service and this is where things got strange.

Apparently they have noticed this is a problem caused by the heat in the drying cycle. Their recommendation is as follows: either hand wash the knives or if I have to use the dishwasher, take out the knives before they get to the hot drying cycle. They recognize it is a defect, and BTW, not just limited to the set we bought.

I put down the phone astonished. So they are going to replace the knives and every time they rust again, replace them again.

As I said, kind of bizarre.

I bought this 3 months ago for my daughter as a house warming gift for her new home. The knives are already rusting. Nothing at all like the 30 year old Oneida flatware I have that still looks perfect. So disappointed. This was not a cheap purchase. I will be contacting customer service in the hopes I can return this entire set of junk silverware
