We have chosen for this cutlery by WMF because we know the quality of this company for years already. Our cutlery "for every day", which was not of WMF, should now be renewed after about 25 years time. This "Atic" cutlery we liked due to its simple and timeless form from the outset. The Protect series is, according to information from WMF, be even better protected against everyday traces and maintain for years its beautiful luster. We are very pleased with our choice and would this set, at that at this price, buy it now again!
