I love this brand and I had this set except mine were stainless steel. These have the wood on the end which make them a little more rustic looking. I ordered this set to replace my old ones and they're great, just don't put them in the dishwasher. I stuck mine in the dishwasher and it just dries the pretty wood out. Now the wood part is a lighter brown and looks dry. I'd buy these again and recommend to anyone but I'd definitely say handwash them.
