I'm responding in particular to your "affordable" parameter.

A favorite restaurant of mine uses flatware from Sam's Club that couldn't be more minimalistic and affordable. Each piece is one piece Stainless steel, so no rust, no joints to come loose or gather germs. Google "Member's Mark Stainless Steel Dinner Knife Set (36 ct.)" and similar for spoons / forks. 36 of the knives sell for $13.86 USD.
