Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of J.A. Henckels Premier Series Opus 45-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Service for 8
Customer Review: I would ask for more...
Summary: 3 Stars
from Henckels... But then, the price tells you - this product is not made in Germany.
They don't feel that light, but they are not substantial enough to give that upscale look to your setting. Also these neat, simple, slim handles are not the most comfortable to hold. Well, this set certainly looks sleek, especially in this price range.

Summary: 2 Stars
I was looking for a new flatware set and after looking at different sites on the Internet, I decided on Opus from Henckels. The main reasons were the modern, cool design and the world-class reputation J. A. Henckels has.
Well, let's just say I got the set today (not from Amazon) and it will go back tomorrow. While I loved the design of it (the 2 stars I gave are for that only), I cannot say the same for the quality of workmanship. This set contained at least one knife with a (tiny) rust mark on the blade, two forks with unacceptably rough edges at the end of the handles ("they scratched my skin"-rough), and one knife with a loose blade!
The set is made in China (the country etched ever so discreetly into the handles), and has nothing to do with the famous German Zwilling quality. I suspect J. A. Henckels is out for a quick buck and hopes for people like me who are seduced by the design. If you are looking for good quality and don't want your guests to scratch their hands with your flatware, keep looking. This set is truly not worth the money, not even on sale.
Since I am returning it, I cannot speak to the quality of the blades because I didn't try the knives. But this is flatware I would be embarrassed to have on my table when inviting guests.
Customer Review: lovely but not good quality
Summary: 2 Stars
I spent weeks looking at flatware sets and finally settled on Henckel's Opus after seeing a set at a store. The set at the store fit well in my hands and had some heft to it. The set I received from my Amazon order was very light, unbalanced, and cheap looking. I do not think it would withstand the frozen ice cream test. I returned it immediately.
I will say that Amazon.com makes returns incredibly easy.
Customer Review: This is stainless????
Summary: 2 Stars
The flatware has a very nice look and weight to it. Everyone compliments us on our silverware until they see the knives. Every knife in the set began to rust so we sent them back to Henckels for replacements (we had to pay the shipping). Now the replacements are beginning to rust as well. For this reason I wouldn't recommend this set to my friends.
