I originally bought these spoons to recreate the Korean restaurant feeling at home when I make soup. They have a nice weight to them. They also make great bar spoons and I use them for everything since they're now my favorite spoon! I probably shouldn't get so excited about spoons, but I experience a little joy everytime I use them. They're perfect in design and I love their elegant simplicity. I'm so happy with them, I just bought a second set!
