Kate, I agree I love the Yeoward as well. My heart says "Sterling Silver " put my pocket says "Stainless Steel". So if I must go with Stainless it's Christofle all the way!

Sarah Dennis said...

To me I just want a fork or knife that works. To some people though a nice fork or knife is what makes them happy.
