This review is from: Calphalon Stainless Ladle (Kitchen)
Truly, one word sums up Calphalon's Stainless Steel Ladle: quality. Pulling it right out of the box I immediately noticed the heft of this ladle. Though this may not be a reliable guide with all cookware and utensils, Calphalon's ladle's heavy weight definitely suggested superior quality and high value. Right away was I pleased and knew I wouldn't need to purchase another ladle in a few years -- if ever! -- like I figured I would have to with the cheaper ladle I originally added to my basket. (Amazon's 4 for 3 promotion gave me up to $16 to use so I decided to upgrade the ladle). Stylish (fits my kitchen theme), brushed stainless steel finish, has 1/4 cup and 1/2 cup markings on the inside of the ladle (handle side), constructed of one piece of stainless steel with the silicone grip through the middle of its handle, an eyelet for easy hanging. Though, I don't put mine away often. Whether I'm using it for serving soup, punch, filling muffin tins with batter, an attractive and multi-use...Read more

The fit n finish on these is not up-to-par for $10-12 pricing. They are very solid but they are made from low-carbon soft steel not tool or spring steel so they are easy to deform and will stay bent should you bend them. (speaking in the plural because all the similar tools are made the same).
There is substantial variability in the finish and tooling marks from post-processing of the molded handle. (i'll explain):
The silicone handle is molded onto the steel as a second step. There is a groove or a series of grooves in the flat steel handle and a silicone rubber 'insert' is molded top and bottom through the grooves in the steel. The molding process leaves behind a thin 'flashing' which is cut away by hand. there is a lot of 'tool mark' left behind so it takes away a lot from the apparent quality.
Worse, however is that the steel used is sub-par. it's not tool steel and is malleable; it makes it easy to fabricate and cheaper to make but cheaper in...Read more
