Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Taika is a great design, beautiful looks if slightly difficult to handle.
However, not all WMF Taika is the same. Some appear to be made in Germany, some in Korea (last purchase in 2003), some in China (last purchase). This latest set comes out of China. Compared to previous parts that I have purchased it is a slightly different design. More clunky, especially on the knives and many small differences. When my wife saw it she said "but they're not the same!".
Bottom line: make sure you look at it live in a store and make sure that you get additional pieces from the same factory.

This WMF Taika 18/10 stainless steel flatware features a contemporary flair and is perfect for either a formal table or for everyday use. Unusual proportions break with our familiar concepts of cutlery. Taika looks as if it has been stretched, extremely slim and graceful (The knife measures 9-1/2 inches in length, while the fork and soup spoon measure 9 inches) The final outcome of this, is the merging of the handle and blade of the knife into one. The formal austerity of the lines is counterbalanced by soft rounded contours at the end of the handle. They give it grace. The proportions are stretched to the extreme, reaching beyond boundaries to establish a link with Asian dining culture. Each piece is highly polished and this unique 53-piece configuration includes eight each: knife, dinner fork, salad fork, dinner spoon, and soup spoon, eight additional espresso spoons, one large salad serving set, one large serving spoon, and one large meat serving fork, plus one cake server.
