Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I rarely take time to write a review, but I feel obligated to warn people that this is NOT EVEN NEAR THE QUALITY it used to be. I own over 24 settings of Michelangelo that I bought when it was still made in the USA. It is top-notch quality in every way and still looks brand new. In the past I have even given some as gifts to family members. I recently bought 4 more settings and can't believe what Oneida has done to this pattern. The pattern has changed and the detailing is gone. The new pattern is now stamped on and there is no quality control. Where there used to be fine floral engraving, there is now a swirly mess of metal. There are some places where the stamping didn't press hard enough and left a blank spot. On a few pieces, the stamping machine must not have been aligned with the metal, and the design runs off the edge. The fine micro-beading near the border has been replaced with tacky large dots. There is also something different about the metal, although I can't quite place it; the pieces feel light and cheap. One of the forks has sharp metal protruding from the handle. Most of the pictures you see online for this pattern are of the older version when it was made in the USA. Read the glowing reviews carefully and you'll see most of them are referring to flatware bought 10+ years ago. I can't mix this new stuff with my original Michelangelo pattern; I would feel embarrassed if a dinner guest picked up one of these.
