I explicitly purchased identical cutlery and gave away all my old mismatched cutlery.
I tried to buy another identical set of cutlery because we needed more and the two version while looking identical on the package and being from the same maker are dramatically different in reality and it makes me crazy.
Got a butter knife that looks the same but weighs nothing. Drives me nuts.
Taking this post as a platform to rally against cutlery that isn’t fashioned from a single piece of metal but has a useless metal or plastic handle. When you take them out of the dishwasher, a pool of warm, stagnant , vaguely soap-smelling water will pour out onto your wrist and wet your sleeve and my week is ruined.
For the record, I haven’t experienced this in years but I carry the trauma.
No ! Stop this madness ! Donate a your old cutlery and renew the entire set all at once so it always matches !
You don’t have to endure this pain and suffering. Better solutions exist !
