These are really elegant and I love the rose tone. I looked at the gold in a store and was able to hold them and feel the quality. The gold id absolutely beautiful but I just wanted rose. I wasn't disappointed! And I paid lees with Great Offer Stock as usual. The zip tied sample set in the box was beyond challenging to set free without marking the implements, so that could be improved. Also, the rubber bands left tarnish prints on the knives but they washed and buffed out. I cannot wait for Thanksgiving!
