Are these continental length? We do not want the really long forks or the really big spoons.

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 am not sure what is "Continental Size" but the Dinner Fork is 8 inches long. Hope this helps.

Since the spoons are labeled "dash," "tad," etc. they are not intended to be used for precise measuring... it's a joke!

Sorry, I bought two sets as gifts. However they were a good size. I did buy the large knife for myself with matching fork. It is 12 1/2 inches long from the base of the handle to the tip of the knife.

There about 4" long. Found this difficult to use (may be a left handed thing!). I prefer my dandelion fork!

I have no idea. I would estimate the longest spoon is no more than 4" long, but I did not break out a measuring tape/ruler. Also, the spoons do nest.

I chose to buy this set specifically because all of the spoons were the same size. My wife is ataxic, and needs to use spoons more than any other type of flatware. However because of her problem, we lose spoons down the garbage disposal a little too often. Having a set with different sized flatware would be of no use to me.

They are fairly long. They are good size. A little longer then kitchen ones I would say.

I don't think they are large. These are teaspoons and are the same size as my others. They are not tablespoons which are typically larger spoons in a flatware set. Hope that helps.

The sizes are pretty much what you would expect.. The dinner forks are long and solid. Tea spoons are not too large; soup spoons are larger but not too big. We're very happy with the set.

I dont believe they are but we sent them back asap. They are huge and heavy and something Fred Flinstone would use. Its not something I would use for a nice dinner or with the family and kids to clunky. If you like very large utensils they will be fine.

They are as long as the average plastic spoons or utensils that you can get. They are not the super long bbq length ones.

that has not been a problem for us, but we also dont really reach down into containers with these larger ones. we usu use our smaller measures for that.

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.

They are very smooth. However, they are light weight and a little smaller than a regular dinner fork. If you don't mind that, these are a great buy.

Yes- I have had to spread the forks to the edges of a 5' bucket to make it easier to pick up longer logs without worrying about balance. I seldom use the bar. Just be aware that bar or not , the forks are 4' long and driving them into a pile etc often moves the fork(s). I also have a wrench to tighten them . I have used the forks for a lot of things and am glad I have them.

The forks stack very nicely and are not thick on the ends. I am very happy with them.
