"Invest Once for a Lifetime: A Collection of Stylish Cutlery Brands that Seem Expensive but Offer Great Cost Performance"

2021.07.24 published

Because you use it every day♡ Choosing good ones is actually a gain♡

What kind of forks and knives do you use???

Proper brand cutlery costs about 2000 yen each. "It gets expensive when you want a full set, and you might think cheap ones from 100 yen shops, Nitori, Ikea, or home centers are good enough...." But wait a moment!

If each costs 2000 yen, getting two of each—forks, spoons, and knives—for a household of two would total 2000 yen × 6 pieces, which is 12,000 yen.

Just thinking "12,000 yen for forks and knives!!" might make you feel it's expensive, but you use forks and knives multiple times every day, and unlike chopsticks, they are not consumables that need to be replaced every few months to years, so they actually last a lifetime!

Investing in quality utensils to beautify your daily dining table and enjoy a rich life is worthwhile, and it's a necessity that you want to gather sooner rather than later!♡

In this article, I will introduce stylish cutlery brands and products that you often see in chic Instagram posts!＊

① Cutipol

If you're looking to buy stylish forks and knives, the first brand to consider is Cutipol, which everyone has.

The handle is slender and stylish. Also, its unique shape makes it easy to use and quite charming.

There are multiple color combinations, so choose the look you like!♩

➡ Pink x Gold Set＊

The price varies somewhat with the material, but the white x silver is relatively affordable♡

➡ White x Silver Cutipol

Gold x White seems to be the most popular choice ♩

➡ Gold x White Cutipol

A deep pinkish red is also stylish＊

➡ Red x Gold

② EME (エメ)

A handmade cutlery brand from Italy♡ European design is elegant♡

The handle is made of methacrylate, a high-quality acrylic resin＊

➡ Transparent EME Fork and Knife here＊

They are cute and shiny like shells♡

➡ Ivory color here

There are various colors, which can be overwhelming to choose from＊

➡ 【Spoon】 Other colors available

③ Laguiole

Known for the bee emblem, Laguiole is a French knife brand.

As a knife brand, it is characterized by its sharpness. It's often used for meat dishes in restaurants♩

Larger and more robust than EME and Cutipol.

➡ Café Latte Color

There are also stainless steel options for the handle, which would go well with any table setting♩

➡ Stainless steel♡

There are many variations in handle colors, but arranging them in a tricolor like this could be cute too♡

➡ For Fruits! Cocktail Forks are available too＊

④ Antique items are also wonderful♡

Although they are not brand new...

Antique forks and knives found by buyers at markets in Paris and Southern France are also lovely♡

They might even be made of real silver, so polishing them can make them shiny♡ It's a lovely story to think about using cutlery that was once treated as family heirlooms in some mansion, now used by us after all this time♡

Antiques and vintage items often have unique designs, making the selection process enjoyable ♩

Since there are many one-of-a-kind pieces, be prepared and decisive when you come across one!＊

I want to spend my days with wonderful cutlery♡

I have introduced stylish cutlery brands and types commonly seen on Instagram＊

Classic brands allow you to purchase the same items later when your family grows, which is convenient♡

(With seasonal items from interior shops, once they are out of stock, you can't buy them anymore, so this isn't the case.)

Meal times are very important in life♡ By being particular about cutlery and gathering your favorites, you can enjoy even higher quality moments!♡
