Hello all,
My partner (29f) & I (28m) have been living alone for the past 3 years & have happily survived on a cutlery set of 4.
However we are coming to the point where we need more, so I am hoping this is the right place to help me find them.
I remember growing up & every single piece of cutlery in the drawer is different. I know this is inevitable but I’d like to keep it uniform for as long as I can!
Anybody got any idea where I can get them from?

I found these https://www.buykanat.com/paris-plain-cutlery-set
I think it’s called a lazer cut/ lazer engraved design, may also be referred to as a paris/triangle design
Go visit a flee market and look for a decent set you like.
I doubt that you’ll find exactly this one, but you’ll probably be able to find something which is both to your liking, unique, **and** inexpensive.
If you can’t find the same, start afresh and buy a couple of sets at the same time
You got to let go! Move on, or your cutlery drawer will spiral into a nightmarish 70s melange…It times for a new set, bring order out of the chaos while there’s still time

Personally I would bite the bullet and buy a couple of new sets, when doing so buy extra tea spoons and forks of the chosen set as these seem to be the ones that dissappear first
Anything printed on the other side?

I think those small sets of 4 remind me of Wilkos or Ikea but if it is either of those they are gone or changed stock. It’s time for new.
Do neither of you have relatives who are ‘downsizing’ right now, and keen to be rid of the 256-piece cutlery set that they received as a wedding gift in the mid 1950s?
The one that they’ve have been hanging on to for all these years just in case the UN decide to drop round for supper.
Embrace the chaos. I have zero idea how we have accumulated so many different makes.
Well some idea. Cougie Jr has been last to move out of student accomodation a few times and WE HAD TO BLOODY CLEAN THE KITCHEN.
Kids just left so much stuff there that it didn’t seem right to throw it and do charity shops even take mismatched forks ? TBH I now have a favourite fork from there.
How’d y’all survive so long without more cutlery? Lotta sandwiches?
Just get a new set.
Go to a local gastro pub, order some food, slip the cutlery into your pocket
Then simply go back and repeat until you have a full set.
If you’re brave enough you can do it in one visit. Just keep asking different staff for cutlery after you pilfer a set.
