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...
$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 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.
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.
Ha ha! Ok, I didn’t even finish watching the video earlier because of the nonsense. Now I just watched the rest. It’s very obviously a farce, so I get it now- I just watched for entertainment. It’s funny reading the comments of viewers who thought this was actually a serious informative video!
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 have I been doing with my life…Tongue-in-cheeky NM says. I got an art degree, never made me a dime. We did one project in “commercial art” to design a flatware set. I enjoyed that project more than any other. Never picked something to specialize in. This Chap got it naturally. I’m jealous.
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'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'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
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.
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..
@David Sanchez we got a henkel 18/10 set from macys on sale. they are top rated and you can find them by searching on the site. only been a few months, but they have been performing very well.
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.?
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?
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.
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?
Beryllium utensils are in my professional opinion, the safest to use, and strongest utensil material. Now it is quite difficult to find them, but sometimes you will find beryllium coated spoons and forks and such at yard sales, and ebay.
That really depends on what you are looking for, 18/10 stainless steel, silver, how much you want to spend, and whether you want a modern or classic design. But a good brand to look up would be Zwilling, J.A. Henckels. A good website to find cutlery and flatware is wayfair.com, they have a large selection of unique cutlery sets, made by well known brands. If you are on a budget, you can also find great sets in thrift stores too.
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.
"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.
You are referring to butter spreader knives. A butter knife is essentially any standard dinner knife that does not have a serrated blade. It's just flat. You should have confirmed your accuracy prior to commenting, sir.
@@PeacefulPariah I've been buying and selling silver since 1990 and never once have I ever heard from any silver dealer or read in any book that dinner knives are "butter knives". Where do you get this stuff from?
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.
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!
it's from all that time he spent staring at spoons.
You're odd
Me too! I need a new set and I’m learning so much!
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...
Exactly that's what I was thinking...
And how would he be hired for titanic if he was new to the job with storage wars…
"probably shouldn't have said that" LOL that face.
I was looking for what cutlery to buy personally, but could not stop watching this! How fascinating!! Awesome video; really enjoyed this.
Did you ever find a good brand? Looking for something under $200 myself.
What an interesting career choice - very fascinating.
Especially since he knows very little about it.
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.
So Id imagine you scoff at the idea that king tuts tomb in Egypt has no corpse in it eh?

This is satire correct? you would have been like 10 years old during the movie Titanic
This was probably filmed years before someone uploaded it to CZcams.
hmm. makes sense..
@@allensturdivant3044 cant be too old since he used the perfectly balanced as all things should be reference so post infinity war at least
there’s a video from this same CZcams channel where he is talking about being a driftwood expert so I would wager it is satire indeed
And I wondered about a 15 Million $ piece of cutlery...
i have an obsession with silver cutlery. its familiar, comforting and nostalgic. i cant go back anymore.

Finally a decent perspective on coutlery! I'm buying my spoons, knifes and shit based on this.
A degree in cutlery... what have i been doing with my life

The legend made a video about cutlery funny and engaging.

Your channel is very underrated
In which episode of Storage Wars did the silverware get misidentified?
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.
There's silver and then there's *very nice silver* which is worth $15 million.
I've just found out that I own a set of prison cutlery, lol 🤣
I hope this guy has seen salad fingers online. Rusty spoooooons….. hahaha
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
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.
Dude was adamant about cheap cutlery.
Edit: I love this guy like he loves spoons.

You are the Best Michael 🎉
You had me going there for a while there, kid, and that’s why I gave you a like. 👍🏼
can you review arne jacobsen cutlery please
I review some in this video here: czcams.com/video/DIIqN5OAr8A/video.html
What came first the spoon or the fork?
definitely the spoon, forks were way to difficult to make in the stone age.
Thank you for this great video.

Very informative!
Imagine telling your parents you are going to college for forks and knives lol
After seeing this I've been on a futile hunt for a new set of cutlery with that ergonomic butter knife!
What is the pattern and brand of that Sweden silver spoon by the way. I really like to buy a similar one.
"I worked for titanic" such a flex, i love it
He would have been an infant
He seems to young ... idk about that

@Whuts Uhp ya screw making better content. ur right, hyuck
Lmao I’m not sure now what is real but I love it
This is making me irrationally upset. LOL
Something doesn't make sense here. There was no antique silverware on the set of Titanic. It was all replicas.
So you rip a guy off for over a quarter million dollars and brag about it on CZcams.
Lamote silverware cleansers for gold expensive cutlery
Why is is calling a dinner knife, a butter knife?
I love old oneida sets
This was fascinating!
this guy worked on the set of the titanic? the movie is literally older than him wtf
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.?
My preference is for a pistol grip on my dinner/table/butter knife.
it's a fork dork...
Thanos moment 3:51
A $15 million what?
XDDDDDDD
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.
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?
I always figured it just meant the help were stealing. Lmao.
Gosh I think I remember hearing that as a kid. I’m in my 50’s now lol
I thought this was a joke video at first, gg
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.
check out my other video in the description, I go into more detail. If you still have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.
What are your thoughts with Broggi flatware and Vietri dinnerware? Over hyped or worth the price?
So, where can I buy the infamous spoon? I gotta do some earth moving.
i have old 23carot gold coted NTC cutlery but cannot find anything NTC related, can you assist?

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

Well if we are talking only about metal cutlery, then there are 12 817 465 782 spoons.

Solid gold. Also means you can afford a good doctor.
He mentioned 18/10 in another video. 18% chromium, 10% nickel
I loved this video
What set would you recommend & from what place can I order it from?

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.
very informational
I feel like if he needs to justify why his job is important, his job is not important
We accidentally ripped a guy off for $298,000… oh well… 🤦🏽♂️
Don't look at the spoon
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 :)
I hope THAT GUY watches this video.
Great video
There is no spoon
So fake! It’s a comedy video right?
What an interesting video
Yal are lucky I was not on that movie set!
