I, for one it seems, doesnt understand how, after 44 yrs., that you have any of it still in perfect use.
I've had two sets in the last 43 yrs. and have left from the 2nd set, 2 small spoons, 6 soup spoons, 1 sugar spoon, 2 salad forks, 6 dinner forks and 6 dinner knives. I also have about 25 various steak knives?
I think I have the complete set of my, inherited, sterling.
