Why it's buy-it-for-life
Owned since a wedding gift 18 years ago; a second identical set bought 10 years later is indistinguishable from the original in the drawer.
What owners say
Multiple commenters name Oneida as a go-to BIFL flatware brand. One bought two identical 12-place-setting sets 14 years ago and, despite losing 10-11 pieces over the years, still has enough for two full table setups. Another recounts a decade-old Oneida Moda set surviving a fall off a car roof and being run over on concrete, with only a slight bend in one knife.

Oneida 18/10. Had mine forever.
My Grannie had me pick out an Oneida silverware pattern and purchased the entire 10 place setting set when I was 11... I have used it as my only silverware set since. I am almost 46.

My brother has Oneida Moda for the past decade, had a box of it fall off the roof of their car after a picnic, got run over after falling on concrete, and only one of the knives has a VERY slight bend to it.
Have had an Oneida 18/10 set since opening as a wedding gift 18 years ago. Bought a second identical set...
I bought 2 identical 12 setting sets of decent quality Oneida 14 years ago. Even though 10-11 pieces have gone missing over the years still have enough full sets...
Oneida. Yes it's a sex cult. Yes it's the best silverware.
