Looking for the perfect good quality cutlery set, suggestions please?

We got our Arthur David set for our wedding over 10 years ago but we need to add more to it as we often don't have enough knifes or forks. Somewhere along the line I think we've lost some. I can't find the original set online so think they must have stopped selling it. I am torn about getting a new one as it has sentimental value and don't want mismatching stuff.

What good quality set should I get that's going to last, able to be put in the dishwasher but isn't too expensive. Budget a few £000

Have you tried ebay for the matching set?

We have David Mellor cafe as our everyday cutlery as it goes in the dishwasher. We've had it 8 years and still looks immaculate. We also have their Pride cutlery for best. You have to hand wash the knives though, which is a bit of a faff but the soup spoons are amazing

We have Alessi cutlery, the Nuovo Milano range. It’s quite pricey (for me), but had it a good number of years now and still looks great. Solid stuff of a good weight and nice simple design.

Mine are Newbridge Cutlery (Irish based). Recently had to replace a couple of forks. They offer free postage. It costed them more to send the item to me (registered, next day delivery) than what I paid for the items.
