The cutlery is comfortable to hold and looks to my taste very good. However, after a couple of times in the dishwasher some knives have rust stains. This I read in another review (strangely that's gone now) and there is written on the sales side as you have to deal with stainless knife, I knew that this could happen. The other parts show no signs of rust. So, knife without rust stains can only happen if you spühlt manually. An insolence as stainless top and still ascribe to insure that you can not complain about it because the recommended handling in the included leaflet describes. Maybe you want to let it pass as Italian flair it yes. The Alessi imprints on the cutlery are not perfect, what the quality of feeling still pulls down a bit. Conclusion: good design, poor quality of the knife.
