Yes. Definetly. I don't believe it is tested in most of the silverware sold in the United States. I did however find a knife filet set which was made in china. This knife set actually had "contains lead which is known to cause birth defects in the state of California." in very small print on the back of the package. I believe the chinese use higher concentrations of lead in their industrial process to produce stainless steel. It is cheaper and they can make more money. In addition, they can also poison us and decrease the intelligence of future generations in the USA. It's just an added bonus for them. I couldn't help the sarcasm -actually it's very sad but nevertheless true. The BIG question here is WHY are we letting them poision us and our future? The lead is present in everything from children's toys, to lipstick, silverware, to purses (as recently reported). Has anyone looked at the food we are importing from China?
The quality of flatware made in China versus Vietnam can vary significantly based on the manufacturer, materials used, and production standards. Both countries produce a wide range of flatware, from high-end to budget options. Generally, flatware from reputable brands in either country can be of high quality, while cheaper alternatives may exhibit inferior craftsmanship. Ultimately, it's essential to consider specific brands and product reviews rather than generalizing by country of origin.
On the website they just say they meet US standards for lead content but, they specifically do NOT say they are lead FREE.
My "Easton" place settings and replacement pieces I bought up until 2004, or so, said made in USA. The replacement place spoon I just received (Feb 2008) says it was made in Indonesia.
There are several places online where you can buy flatware made from antlers. One of those places is a website called The Find. They have many different varieties of flatware made from antlers.
There are many test kits available for detecting lead in water. One example is:http://heavymetaldetection.comYour local water treatment plant may have recommendations or even provide testing for lead in water samples (for a fee).
Lots.

Siam flatware is typically made from stainless steel or a combination of stainless steel and another material like silver or gold plating. Stainless steel is a popular choice for flatware due to its durability, resistance to corrosion, and ease of maintenance.
Presumably one is made in China? Other than that the question makes no obvious sense as functional flatware is essentially never made from anything but metal.
One popular brand of stainless steel flatware made in the US is Liberty Tabletop. They manufacture their flatware in their factory in upstate New York with high-quality stainless steel materials. They offer a variety of patterns and designs to choose from.
Yes, flatwear should always be lead free, or else it can be dangerous.
