My husband was a fine wood carver and to him, the feel and the balance of his tools meant everything. We have three sets of silverware and the only forks that he would use were two old forks that he had had for years. No amount of polish or elbow grease would ever make them look 'presentable' but they felt right in his hand and made his meal more enjoyable.
