Are there standard American size utensils or are they the large "continental " size?

I don't know what 'continental' size is, but they seem rather on the large size to me. They are also very heavy, which is nice.

I believe these would be considered standard American in size. These handle very well for smaller hands of a woman and still substantial enough for a man. I loved these so much I bought a set for my daughter.

Yes, they are the continental size, esp. the forks and knives. The only thing is that the soup spoons are a little smaller, don't know why but that does not bother me. I have been pleased with the set, appearance wise and they wash nicely. Mrs. Miller

I am only familiar with one size so I guess that would be standard. I am very pleased with them.

It is definitely continental sized. Longer and bigger overall. Hefty feel as well. We have been pleased.

These are 2 1/4" at the widest point. They aren't the narrow ones. But as regular sized spatulas, these are my favorites.

They are regular to larger size dishes. The mugs are on the larger size too. I love my sets. They set a pretty table, are light weight and classic. You won't regret owning these.

I don't know, should be the standard. There are small, you can go to have a look.

I'm happy to tell you that the salad/dessert forks are an appropriate size. You're right though - I have another set by WMF and the salad/dessert forks are a very silly size. I think you'll be happy with this set & it's a good weight.

They are standard size. For instance, I can use my Best Bottom inserts with Buttons inserts.

Sorry, I don't know that pattern. The continental is a very solid, typical bead style. Not hammered but glossy. The flatware is large in size and hefty in weight. My husband loves it. It is fairly large for a woman's hand. It looks as advertised in the picture except for the larger size.

These are pretty standard size. Their not huge. We never had problems with food getting everywhere, but it sounds like you might prefer something bigger

They are the appropriate size in this pattern. The issue with some other WMF patterns is that they were originally designed in "European" sizing, where the salad forks are three-tined and much smaller. If you order from us, the pieces in this set will be the usual American sizing that we are all used to. Also, the WMF stamp on the knife is going to be on the right side of the blade. We have noticed a lot of the WMF photography on Amazon shows it on the left side which is inaccurate.

I know this answer is probably too late, but the label on ours said they come in 3 sizes, 12x20 (10 gauge steel), 14x23 and 23x23 (7 gauge steel).

I don't know what continental length is, but these flatware are very well proportioned - forks are not too long, and the big spoon is not too big. The only pieces that are a bit larger than standard are the teaspoons. We looked all over for nice, affordable cutlery and these definitely fit the bill. Great product.

I recall this product is from a "metric country." It comes with two different size cutting plates. One is 9 mm; the other is 12 mm. Nine mm is approx. 0.35 inches, which is larger than 1/4" (0.25 inches). Twelve mm is approx. 0.47 inches, which is a tad less than one-half inch. So, in U.S. terms, the smaller cutting plate is for fries a little bit larger than 1/4", and the larger plate is for fries a little less than 1/2". Hope this helps.

They are normal size paring knives. They are in my camper at the campground and unable to give exact dimensions. These particular ones however are not dishwasher safe.

Me too.. I haven't measured it.. but it is a standard ladle.. The ONLY thing I don't like about them, is the silicone doesn't so up TOO far from the spoons, ladle... We just bought brand new pots and pans and when you "beat" the spoon off... you kinda have to make sure you don't beat the metal on the pots... Otherwie my pots and pans looks FABULOUS!!
