Cutlery Expert Breaks Down Cheap and Expensive Silverware 

"probably shouldn't have said that" LOL that face.

This guy is so odd, but in the most interesting way. I didn't think I'd be watching a video about cutlery, but he's holding my attention!

I was looking for what cutlery to buy personally, but could not stop watching this! How fascinating!! Awesome video; really enjoyed this.

How do people think this is real? 😂 Either he was like 2 years old when he 'worked' on the 1997 Titanic film or he is one hell of a young looking 40 year old. Dude is clearly like 19 years old...

What an interesting career choice - very fascinating.

Wow, I almost believed it was real. “I worked on the set of titanic”, yeah when you were a baby I guess.

Flatware: having one purpose. Expert: I don’t want to ruin it by eating on it.

i have an obsession with silver cutlery. its familiar, comforting and nostalgic. i cant go back anymore.

What are your thoughts with Broggi flatware and Vietri dinnerware? Over hyped or worth the price?

What would be the best type of cutlery to use with regards to the material that the cutlery is composed of such as the degree of nickel that is in it etc.?

The legend made a video about cutlery funny and engaging.

This is satire correct? you would have been like 10 years old during the movie Titanic

i have old 23carot gold coted NTC cutlery but cannot find anything NTC related, can you assist?

In which episode of Storage Wars did the silverware get misidentified?

I remember when someone in my class sawed his desk in half in the middle of class. He must have been working at it the entire year, because one day, when class ended, the kid stood up and pushed the two halves of his desk apart.

Very informative!

What is the pattern and brand of that Sweden silver spoon by the way. I really like to buy a similar one.

I'm a huge fan of airline spoons. The forks and knives are kind of meh, but EVA Air has the best designed spoon in my opinion. I'd really like to get my hands on more of them, but for now I use Vietnamese made IKEA spoons. They're pretty well made, but handles are too thin in the middle (stem?) and can bend too easily for my taste.

I was looking at this because I thought it'd be funny to make my own Argentium silver tableware. You are way weird in all the right ways =D

You had me going there for a while there, kid, and that’s why I gave you a like. 👍🏼

Finally a decent perspective on coutlery! I'm buying my spoons, knifes and shit based on this.

Thank you for your interesting video.

This was fascinating!

A degree in cutlery... what have i been doing with my life

Your channel is very underrated

You are the Best Michael 🎉

About his favorite spoons, "these are my favorite out of all utensils. I just love these spoons... they're just so well made, they're so smooth, you won't find a sharp edge on the handle anywhere."-Mico Romeo, Cutlery Expert What he said about smooth edges, I thought I was the only one who thought this about silverware. I cannot stand bendable cheap sharp-edged cutlery. They feel uncomfortable in my hands. I have long fingers so I grip thin forks and spoons harder. Therefore, I got the Soirée set in a mirror finish from Williams Sonoma, specifically because they are completely rounded, thus they feel smooth in my hands. I don't like to waste time, my movements are precise; the purpose towards my purchases are geared toward practicality first, and aesthetics second. This Soirée set fits both criteria. I like that carpenter and founder of Williams-Sonoma, said this: "In those days, all most American cooks had to work with were a couple of fry pans and saucepans, a stockpot and maybe a Dutch oven. They were made of thin aluminum that got all bent out of shape and didn’t cook well...On my first trip to France in 1953, knowing how to cook myself, I loved looking at all the pots and pans and was amazed that everything was available there for everyone. So I made up my mind to do something about getting good French cookware back here to American home kitchens.”-Chuck Williams, Founder of Williams-Sonoma

What set would you recommend & from what place can I order it from?

What came first the spoon or the fork?

So, where can I buy the infamous spoon? I gotta do some earth moving.

Thank you for this great video. About the Titanic cutlery, i was under the impression that the cutlery used for the 1997 movie was remade by the same company that made the cutlery in 1912. So how is it possible that someone used/touched/misplaced an irreplaceable artefact? Arthur price of England has a beautiful historically accurate set available.

I've just found out that I own a set of prison cutlery, lol 🤣

What is the best material for silverware utensils? Health wise? I have been using my family’s silverware fir my honey and I can taste the metal in my drink after stirring. Is there a material in utensils I should be looking for? For no after taste?

can you review arne jacobsen cutlery please

He didn’t mention two piece dinner knives with hollow handles and counterweights in the handle being the best way to make balanced dinner knife.

is this fake?

There's silver and then there's *very nice silver* which is worth $15 million.

Dude was adamant about cheap cutlery. Edit: I love this guy like he loves spoons.

Also separately... I love Lovespoons (Welsh tradition) but you can't eat from those lol, so sweet I would love someone to carve me one.

After seeing this I've been on a futile hunt for a new set of cutlery with that ergonomic butter knife!

Great video bro

Great video

I have some sterling silver spoons and forks that I use daily, they get tarnished and have black spots. I feel bad but normally use a heavy scrub to remove the tarnish. I have plans to buy a full set at some point, I'll treat those the same way. Going to aim for brand new, I'd feel bad destroying an old set.

I loved this video

I love old oneida sets

very informational

I hope this guy has seen salad fingers online. Rusty spoooooons….. hahaha

I use 18/10 Arthur Price Willow for day to day... any tips for watermarks? Also... Have you ever heard the old wives tale about how when cutlery used to come up missing it meant that your partner is cheating?

My preference is for a pistol grip on my dinner/table/butter knife.

Imagine telling your parents you are going to college for forks and knives lol

What an interesting video

$13 Million Dollar Fork? $300,000 set of sterling? I have to see these things. I've been buying and selling silver for 32 years and these statements are insane. Furthermore, you don't assess what the metal something is made of from the date it was made. There is, in 98% of the cases a mark, that tells you if you have sterling, 95%, 90%, 80% silver.

"I worked for titanic" such a flex, i love it

I'm doing research for a manufacturing report which led me here. I got instant red flags the second I heard him say that he has a degree in Cutlery Sciences from Edmund University. Did some quick googling and found out that this was all an elaborate joke! I know there's some real fringe degrees out there and areas of expertise, but Cutlery Sciences? Momma didn't raise no fool. Lmao

Interesting that you aren't big on forks. I find that having a "bad" fork makes my dining experience noticeably worse. Problem is that, aside from hating 3 tine forks, i have a really hard time determining what exactly makes a fork good or bad to me from an objective analysis point of view

Lmao I’m not sure now what is real but I love it

Yal are lucky I was not on that movie set!

How many spoons are there in the world?🥄

Lamote silverware cleansers for gold expensive cutlery

this guy worked on the set of the titanic? the movie is literally older than him wtf

it's a fork dork...

Interesting stories but you didn't give us any information to figure out how to buy quality cutlery. What kinds of steel what kinds of weight size etc.

This is making me irrationally upset. LOL

next time you see a 15 million dollar fork, just lick it. it will be just as satisfying. i dont need to try it to know :)

Thanos moment 3:51

A $15 million what?

Mico, this video would have been much better if you added more information considering you claim you are an “expert”. I like the degree background, but for 13 minutes (yes I watched it all), the time could have been leathered with useful information about brands, how items were made, where, and so on. I wish you added what people can look for when buying their own cutlery for home use. What to look for, why, and brands. Or talking about features such as 18/10 in silverware..

Hmm… this video started off interesting, but I think I am going to call bullshit on this one… when the guy said he’s a “cutlery expert,” I thought “well, that’s very specific, but ok- that’s possible.” Then when he said he got a degree in “cutlery sciences” I started getting very suspicious- Really? “cutlery sciences” is a course of studies in which one can obtain a university degree?? But then he told the story of a supposedly “$15 million fork” used in the film Titanic… Um, no. That didn’t happen. First of all, I completely doubt any single fork would be worth anywhere near that much money- even if it were made of thick solid platinum, encrusted with colored diamonds and had personally belonged to Marie Antoinette, just no- a single fork wouldn’t be worth that much. Even if there were a fork like that, then it would either be in a museum or in the private collection of a billionaire- it wouldn’t have been used in a film (unless perhaps the film plot specifically revolved around a ridiculously rare and expensive fork, but even then, probably not- the film would use a cheap reproduction). Anyway, as someone who appreciates fine utensils and has an interest in antiques, I agree with a lot of what the guy says, but the few far-fetched nonsense things cheapen the video a bit.

I thought this was a joke video at first, gg

Indubitably

Dinner. Dinner knife, not butter knife. I'm I the only one?

Something doesn't make sense here. There was no antique silverware on the set of Titanic. It was all replicas.

Why is is calling a dinner knife, a butter knife?

There is no spoon

Don't look at the spoon

Ops 15 milly snack

I'm just here to let you know that if someone told you that the cheap silverware on the front is worth $6k, they're manipulating you.

I feel like if he needs to justify why his job is important, his job is not important

I hope THAT GUY watches this video.

Mickey mouse degree

We accidentally ripped a guy off for $298,000… oh well… 🤦🏽‍♂️

Sure does piss me off when people waste my time.

This guy should get a copy of "Silver in America" and read it. It would be the beginning of good education in silver for him. I don't mean to be hypercritical here, or nasty, but he is billing himself as an expert when he has the basics dead wrong.

So you rip a guy off for over a quarter million dollars and brag about it on RU-vid.

Lmao that's an interesting way to waste your life studying a BSc in Cutlery 😂😂

"Butter Knife ?" Those are typical place knives for dinner, lunch, etc. Butter knives are generally smaller, rarely exceeding 5 inches, and often have paddle shaped blades? This guy is an expert? Not in my book.

TOTAL FLARED BOTTOM DEATH

So fake! It’s a comedy video right?

Hello I’m on the production team for an upcoming feature for Netflix - looking for a cutlery expert for a period scene. Should be similar work to what you’ve done on Titanic (great work btw) Would love your contact.
