The scope of delivery of this cutlery sets is very large: This gives a total of 68 parts, in addition to the usual dining cutlery, cake forks, coffee spoons for 12 persons also Tortenheber, sugar spoon, cream spoon, sauce spoon (each 1x), meat forks and large serving spoons (each 2x ). So it's all this, what you need to cover for a full (normal) menu or a coffee table. The only thing that is not there is a ladle.
The cutlery comes in a compact box. A set dining cutlery individually in a small box placed to demonstrate above (see picture), the rest of the cutlery is housed in two other boxes, although individually wrapped in plastic bags, otherwise loose in the carton.
Appearance:
The cutlery is shiny and very simple (and in my opinion, therefore, very timeless) with the bottom rounded handles. The forks have relatively long tines, as I actually know the rather older cutlery ago. The tablespoons are rather narrow and not so round, the knife - as might be expected, since new - very sharp. The sauce ladle is the only part of this cutlery a bent edge (as seen on the product image from Amazon).
The material is easy to clean stainless steel.
Experience in use:
I have parts of the cutlery (especially the frequently used eating utensils) now since I possess, in daily use. It is quite suitable for everyday use and easy to clean in the dishwasher. However, I find that the gloss thereby suffers a bit. By polishing the cutlery can restore the luster very good. For this purpose, you should always observe the cutlery enclosed care instructions: Do not use abrasives or even steel wool, but only with a soft cloth to polish!
Anyway, it's good to read the care instructions briefly, most of you know, but a few useful tips, it contains yet.
The BSF brand is part of the twin group that is probably the most well known.
I already have the Ostfriesen cutlery from BSF (my "good" silverware for special occasions), and for several years. From experience with this brand out, I can say that I was very pleased and am now and the silverware despite longstanding use still looks like new.
Additional parts:
In the enclosed care instructions are announced that you can expand the basic cutlery in some series to espresso spoon or fish cutlery. I did especially for this set so far can not find the possibility of re-orders of parts I could not find. Since this is for other cutlery series is possible, I can well imagine that in this cutlery to me - at least at a later date - is possible.
Conclusion:
This cutlery is in my opinion a very good quality cutlery for everyday use the lower price range (at least for the currently offered price at Amazon), which is expected to make with good care for many years joy. Thoroughly recommended!
Update 7/22/2015: The cutlery is still in everyday use, so far - despite cleaning in the dishwasher - not started and also shows with only minor signs of wear. If you, dear Abklicker who you meant, after all, this five year old review three times to have a few days unchecking, have so little wrong with it, you may like to notify my comment. Otherwise, I think this meaningless clicks for extremely vicious;).
