How can there be enhanced flange return inserts when the handles have been cut off?
That was my thinking too. At best I'd call that a Wermac return rather than a full flange - and certainly not enhanced. Unless 'enhanced' means removal! Hahahaha...gasp....hahahahahaaha

Which part of the word "inserts" would you like me to explain?
These earrings are high end evocations of the total Krupp teaspoon experience. So, we've integrated the return flange into the bowl. Rather than adding a shaft stump.
Obvious is obvious.
Look at the bloody photo!
A very interesting development from my source at the ChuangDian factory in Guangzhou.
If he's to be believed, they've perfected a facsimile of the flange and bowl design from the Achenbach Sports model.
If they can come up with anything resembling a reasonable handle design, it could blow the world of competitive spooning wide open. Achenbach are very selective when it comes to deciding who's allowed to purchase the Sports model, if any old Tom Dick or Harry can get their hands on something with equivalent performance, the aftershocks could be felt across the spooning world for years to come.

They'll tell you to buy a load of fish knives and dessert forks before putting you on the list. Easier to go grey.Just brought down from the loft in readiness for the festive season...
I made it a few years ago from a job lot of spoons I found on Gumtree, being given away free. I can’t remember exactly the name of the spoon maker, possibly 24 something or other with maybe a letter suffix in brackets? Anyway they were no bloody good as spoons so I cut off the stems, rattle canned the bowls and hey presto! Blue Peter would be proud. Do you have anything similar? I sharpened up the stems and use them as anti-pigeon spikes in case you were wondering.

I made this:
Mrs OS has kindly offered to buy me a new set of spoons for Xmas. Knowing how fussy I am, she's asked me to choose rather than selecting a set herself.
I'm torn between something more traditional such as the Schmidt series three, or something with a more contemporary look such as the Tantai Gongye. I'm hearing lots of good things about the latter but without a UK dealer we'd have to import a set directly from Taiwan and I wouldn't get a chance to test stir one before purchase.
Does anyone have first hand experience of either of the above?

The Schmidt is boring hotel equipment. Long living, but not very refined. The Gongye is very stable, but as you said; not very practical for day-to-day use, as having the flanges recalibrated will become a major headache.

Have you considered the Knudsen Stænkfri Omrører? Good price/performance ratio, stable handling, and would also impress most Jones'.
Teaspoon price surge on the way guys.
Apparently all AD (Authorised Teaspoon Dealers) are mildly worried as the Felixstowe PPE backlog (Perfekt Perfekt Englishteaspooon deliveries from Germany) has the UK teaspoon supply chain in tatters and there may be a major grey or black market Teaspoon surge for this Christmas.
However, my supply chain mangeler in Lower Whitchstspot has already been adapting and looking at alternate supply chain solutions. Whilst the new devices can only carry 2 teaspoons each as opposed to the 1,200,000 in a 40ft Iso freight, he is hopeful that 600,000 ITCE (Individual Teaspoon Carrying Employees) can be recruited to supply the Christmas demand. It does have the side effect of putting the average teaspoon price up to £129.99 + VAT, but that was going to happen anyway in six weeks at the end of the Brexit transition, so this is just the "new normal".
Quite elegant you'll see.
Note how both bowls (sorry earlier edit said bowels) are kept separate to prevent chaffing of the cup of the spoon pair and how the handle carrier has enough room for them to be contained without rubbing off on each other. So good an idea it seems to have posted twice.

I've came across a rather special spoon recently; Martin Luther's (best known from his quote "A happy fart never comes from a miserable ass.") personal traveling spoon:
The little horn insert (from a unicorn) should have changed colour when detecting poison. Apparently, Luther survived three poisoning assassins from miserable asses.
