I am looking for flatware for my son. It needs to be a heavier weight, large design. He has large hands. Suggestions?

I think you'll be pleased with this choice. It is a nice weight, substantial but not clunky.

I like this design a lot, but I have very small hands, and it is a lighter-weight style, except for the butter knife. Probably not what you're looking for, I'm afraid.

Perhaps Oneida has quality control problems as the Flight flatware set that I viewed in Kohls on 6/2015 was light weight and flimsy. The demo forks were bent. The Oneida Icarus set is very heavy. There is nothing solid at all at this current production of the Oneida Flight flatware.

Don't know if the person looking for a large stovetop perc found one, but my neighbor did--at a yard sale. She gave it to me; also try ebay. And Farberware USED TO BE a reliable brand. I have Farberware pots and pans more than 50 and 30 years old and still in great shape. A newer pan lost its handle in less than a year, and the farberware perc I bought from amazon died of a faulty eating element in 16 months.

I went online and looked at the Oneida "American Harmony" set. Thier design is a little different from the International 53 piece set,if thats important to you. I do know that my wife and I are very satisfied with the price and quality of the International set we purchased. I pray that this was helpful.

I was walking through WalMart the other day and found a very good anodized cookware separate pieces and sets. I was surprised but after looking at the pieces found the quality very similar to the set I purchased as a set. Also, of course, Amazon associates may have seperates as well. Good luck!

We purchased knives, forks, and spoons in this pattern sometime during 2013 - sounds like it's a good thing we did all of them then. We use them often. Good luck with finding them.

It will be personal reference really. This set has a medium/average weight in the hand. There are heavier sets but personally for me its too much and not needed. This set is also on sale right now too. I'm going to order another so I will have an 8 pc setting. A suggestion for you is to go to a better store and feel flatware and compare how they weigh and feel in your hands to really know.

Actually, these utensils have excellent weight to them. They have good balance and the handle is actually quite thick. Great for bigger hands. These utensils are a great set for dinner parties - a conversation piece!

This flatware is made in China. It is very heavy and solid (can scoop ice cream easily without bending). The dinner forks are very big, 8.25 inches in length. We use the salad/dessert forks as dinner forks. It is very nice quality, though, and washes well in the dishwasher. I would definitely buy it again.

I find it of good size to hold our daily use flatware, about 10+ in each side. As someone else pointed out, one irritating thing is some spoons etc. slip out of the bottom. Ideally I would have liked a design with covered bottoms 1-2 cm of each side circles.

I just looked up your china pattern. I think it would look lovely together! These have only the little butterfly stamped on the 'bowl' of the spoons and forks, and on the handle of the knife... the rest is little flower patterns. Be aware that these are big and heavy. I feel like that makes them a better quality... spoons don't bend when scooping ice cream! I had an IKEA set before, and the smaller spoon in the Portmeirion set is almost as big as the soup spoon from the Ikea set. I'm so accustomed to them now, that the IKEA set seems like plastic-ware size.

These are of very nice quality...I know what you mean about the cheap ones! You will be happy with these, I have the full size set of tableware in this style, and the handles are almost TOO heavy! They have cocktail spoons in this style, also. Enjoy!

I love Gorham's Melon Bud flatware! The weight has always been a key criteria for me. Have never in my 25+ years of using Melon Bud had it fall off of a plate.

Sculpted is a better word for the feel and look. The back on the spoons and the forks are slightly concave on the back, but don't let that sway how you feel about the quality. This is really nice flatware that is well balanced.

Decent size for larger hands. But the Manix 2 XL might be one to check out.

The Large and the Medium size of this design are only a single dish with a lid for the price. There was, not sure if there still is, an even smaller one, that is bought as a set. They are Very heavy class and lovely, old-fashioned, unusual design. We bought a large and a medium for a friend for Christmas. She was amazed!

Not sure where you can buy this particular flatware separately, but Bed, Bath, and Beyond sells a different brand individually.
