Once upon a time, silver was the best you could get for flatware. It was sturdy, easy to clean, it didn’t rust, and if it tarnished a little, the tarnish isn’t toxic and has very little flavor.
I guess a low-carat gold alloy might be even better, but too much gold would make it too soft.
A heavy grade of stainless is better. It’s harder than sliver, and even easier to keep clean and even more impervious to corrosion. And it’s cheap enough for almost anyone to afford it.
What’s the alternative? Fingers? Tongue?

Wife and I went to Brandsmart on Sunday. The logo said BrandsMart but I was thinking it should probably be BrandSmart since then they would look smart. Wife went for the cheapest model available. That led me to conclude it wasn’t going to be a productive shopping trip with her, so I’ll look up options online tonight.
A dinner knife wouldn’t fit on a bread plate!

Is this where @NormalDan’s fancy British roots show?
How else do you think British people style upon one another!?
not gonna lie, I bought a full expensive English tea set when I lived in a house. Used it once for afternoon tea time with a girl friend.
If you want cute but awkward flatware, may I suggest iced tea spoons with integral straws?
My grandmother used to have a really elegant set made of silver. I always wondered how she cleaned them. But they were super-cute.
Was she the last?
Ok but what about the poop knife?

“Dinner knife” is not a thing I’ve ever heard of. It’s a knife or a butter knife depending on the context. For example, if you’re eating food, it’s a knife. If you’ve injured yourself with one, it’s a butter knife (“omg how did you even do that to yourself? It’s a freaking butter knife!”)
Steak knives are their own thing, although I never saw one growing up until I was an adult dating a guy from a non-poor family.
You don’t get a knife with dinner, you get up and grab one from the cluttered kitchen drawer when you need one. Unless it’s steak, which, again, what’s that?
If you have more than one utensil with dinner, they ought to match, but likely won’t.
Don’t know what the giant utensils that come with the box sets are even for. Giants maybe?

Got lots. Dishes and cutlery are cheap. Got our daily dishes that are more than enough. And we have about 15 each of ikea dishes we use when company comes over. Ikea dishes are dirt cheap. Actually, I’ve got another set of 15 of everything Ikea that I keep packed in the back shed for hunting season.
And our dishwasher runs long times like 110 minutes plus. We load it through the day, and run it once when we go to bed. Doesn’t matter if it takes two hours or not at that point. Plus, we have time of day electricity pricing so it’s cheaper to run the dishwasher at night.
Whenever I see a butter knife I think if this: Bells - YouTube
