My best recent purchase is a pair of Cutipol forks.
My sister bought me the cutlery I’d wanted for ages as a housewarming gift.
Features
What I bought is from the GOA series—a design so well known that it’s fair to call it the emblem of the brand.
The handle is resin and the eating end is stainless steel.
They have a pleasant heft: substantial without being heavy, exactly the right weight.
The weight is distributed evenly, so they feel very well balanced.
Personally, my first impression when I saw them in the shop was, “These are huge!!!”
It’s hard to judge the scale online, but seen in person, even the smaller sizes of Cutipol cutlery are fairly large.
So I’d recommend seeing them in a shop before deciding which size to buy.
There are many imitations of Cutipol, and lookalikes of the GOA series in particular are extremely common.
Here are the differences from other products, as listed on Cutipol’s website.
- The resin joint on the GOA is roughly made and risks coming apart
- The stainless steel section is heavy
- It looks like a GOA but is made entirely of stainless steel
As this suggests, the genuine article is well made and will last a long time.
How they feel to use
They are very comfortable to use, and my hand never gets tired even after long use.
The handle is thicker than it looks in photos, so even with my thick fingers it feels perfectly natural to hold.
I love the design too. Once you buy good cutlery, all sorts of ideas about what to eat with it start coming to mind.
I can’t wait to have some cake…
Comments
They come in many colors, so I think they’d suit all kinds of plates and meals.
I’d admired this cutlery ever since I saw it at a café, so I’m delighted to finally own some.
They make a great gift or a treat for yourself, so do take a look in a shop or on their website.
