Looking for a canteen of cutlery...!

I want something like this...

www.amazon.co.uk/Amefa-Monogram-Carlton-Cutlery-Stainless/dp/B002B5488M/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

but I'd like it to have round ends-this seems to have squashed ends iyswim!

I don't mind which make, but the reviews on this say that it's made of stainless steel and rusts; I don't want something like that! Our current set is Viners which are great, but I can't find a Viners set with round ends (!) and I don't know any other brands! I don't mind it costing more if it's going to last.

Can anyone help!?

Stainless should not rust. Sometimes it needs polishing up with a green nylon scourer.

low-quality stainless (usually seems to come from Korea) does get rust spots or black pits on it. I've seen it on cheap handrails and kitchen knives.

Viners used long ago to be made in Sheffield, they went bust and the brand is now made overseas.

That set you linked to was never never never sold at £90, it's a typical economy modern stainless set.

Have a browse in Debenhams and John Lewis, as well as the big supermarts and Homebase, see what you like. I'd suggest quite broad handles as they are more comfortable.

Nobody actually uses a canteen, just buy it in a cardboard box.
